Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies how bonus issues are treated in a shareholder's books. Generally, no accounting entry is required as shares are received without consideration, only the number of shares increases. However, if the shareholder is an investment company, a disclosure is necessary. The equity section entries involve debiting reserves and crediting share capital.

I think a disclosure is required.

Next, in the equity section, changes are like debit reserves account because issue is made from it and credit share capital account.

In the books of shareholders,
Since it is received without consideration there will be no entry
Only the number of shares will be increased.
If the shareholder is a investment company, then a disclosure is required.
Bonus will come under which head?
There will be no accounting entry.
Only number of shares will get increased.

Shareholders capital

Thank you so much
