Redemption of preference capital


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses whether a company can redeem its preference shares using its general reserve. Based on the provided balance sheet, the general reserve is insufficient for this purpose, especially after accounting for the P&L debit balance. The company would likely need to issue fresh shares or use profits to redeem preference shares. Redemption directly from general reserves in this scenario is not feasible and could negatively impact creditors and members.
