Accumulated Losses

Securities Premium Account can be used only for the four purposes as stated in Sec 78 (2) of the CA, 1956 + For buying back of securities as stated in Sec 77A (1)
Writing off of Accumulated Losses does not form part of any of the aforesaid purposes.
Therefore, no adjustment from Securities Premium Account is permitted
Revaluation reserves should be adjusted only to write off the revalued value of the asset over the useful life.
Hence even that is not permitted.
i agree with Mr. prabudh..
i agree
securities premium A/c balance can be used only for prescribed purposes........
Losses can't be set off from revaluation reserve as it is not realised in cash as it would amount to losses being set off to unrealised gains hence distorting the picture.....!!!!!!!!!!
