Premium on redemption on pref share cannot be book in profit & loss a/c. However company can amortize this exp. against Security Premium a/c ( If available ) Otherwise from free reserve. If company does not have both as explained above company can debit this exp. under the head of Misc. expenditure a/c and shown In balance Sheet.
