As per the Explanation given under section 372A, 'free reserves' means those reserves which, as per the latest audited balance sheet of the company, are free for distribution as dividend and shall include balance to the credit of the securities premium account but shall not include share application money. If accumulated losses is available then it will be reduced from free reserve.
