02 June 2008 it can be done as such adjustment is permissible as per sec.78 as it states that securities premium can be utilised for
1) writting off preliminary expenses, disc. on issue of debentures,
2) paying premium on redemption of preference shares, debentures,
3) for issuing fully paid up bonus shares,
4) for paying expenses on underwriting of shares and debentures.
as per item 4) you can adjust the comm from securities premium account.
