26 January 2010 Declaration of dividend is not a pre-condition for the issue of bonus shares.

According to me you can use entire reserves for the purpose of bonus issue.

Views of other experts solicited.

26 January 2010 Agree with expert. However, ensure that is no clause to the contrary in your Articles.

26 January 2010 Where a company adopts Table A of the companies Act,1956 or where it has not so adopted but has an express provision in the AOA to allow capitalization of profits or where it has not excluded the specific clause of Table A as inapplicble in its otherwise independent AOA, capitalisation of profits is very well possible by issuing bonus shares.
