04 July 2010 Dear Vipin,

Such credits are normally given by close friends and family members or by the key promoters themselves and they have complete control on the comapny.

Actually, credit balance in Share Application A/C for a long period does serve very limited purpose.

1. To show higher profitability and EPS.

2. Promoters can withdraw the credits from the company whenever they desire at a very short notice without much of eyebrows raising.

3. At the same while availing working capital facilities from a bank it can treated as long-term finance and the firm can show better current ratio. Moreover, MPBL from the bank is improved. A sesible banker may insist upon a non-withdrawal undertaking from the promoters

I hope I have covered briefly the possible reasons
