19 September 2010 If dividend is paid out of accumulated profits, provisions of The Companies(Transfer of Profits to Reserves)rules,1975 does not apply meaning thereby the transfer of the required % is not applicable.
However the company has to necessarily follow the provisions of The Companies (Declaration of Dividend Out of Reserves) Rules,1975 for declaring dividend out of accumulated profits.
