A balance sheet that shows debit reserves & surplus

1. It shows that the company is having the negative capital balance & capital of the company is not sufficient to write off the losses of the company

2. Introduce the capital & then write off the losses.

Hello,

Thank you for resolving my query. I have further questions to the response you gave in point 2. And it is that:

(i) At the time of incorporation of the company, Capital account was debited by INR 1.0 lakh. This is as per the MoA/AoA. In order to debit Capital Account further, will I have to amend these documents appropriately?

(ii) What accounting entry do I pass in order to infuse further capital? I thought that crediting the cash/bank a/c and debiting the reserves and surplus a/c  will do the trick? Also, by retaining the now +ve reserves and surplus account (by not touching the money of INR 2.8 lakh, and let it remain in the bank througout the financial year), my balance sheet will show a more healthy picture. Perhaps if I open a separate bank account and park this money there, it truly reflects the "reserves and surplus" nature of the money?

(iii) What entries need to be posted if I were to show a "write-off"? What a/c to credit and what a/c to debit?

(iv) In this fictional company, cash on hand is miniscule, say INR 15K. Are there any tax implications consequent to my actions of (ii)?

Thank you in advance for all your advice and inputs.

1. What is the authorised capital as per company MOA/AOA

2. What is the loans or current liabilities of the company

Capital introduction will not have any tax implications, if you have proper source for the introduced capital

Hello,

Thanks for the answer provided.

1. The authorized and paid-up capital of the Company as per MoA/AoA are INR 1.0 lakh.

2. The Company has not taken any loan. It shows a liability (salary payable) of about INR 60K in its books. This liability is intended to be nullified in the current financial year.

The source for the freshly introduced capital is the income actually realized.

Thanks once again for the guidance being given.
