as per section 77A of the indian companies act 1956 there is a limit of buy back 25% of paidup capital and free reserves.Free reserve means as defined in 372A. As per 372A free reserves means those reserves as per the latest audited balance sheet of the company,are free for distribution as dividend and includes balance to ther credit of the securities premium account but not include share application money.

If a company makes Interim accounts( half yearly or so ) and get them audited,will it be considered as Latest Audited Balance Sheets for this section.Please note that the company does not change its financial year which remains the same( annual).

please give your opinion.
