Any of these can be utilised ...........there is provision that free reserve or profit...so any can be utilised....

Yes, as said by Saroj, any of them can be utilised for issuing bonus shares.

HELLO,

P/L AND GENERAL RESERVE BOTH ARE THE FREE RESERVE AND YOU HAVE UTILISED ANY OF THEM,

GENERALLY FIRST UTILISED THE P/L THEN IF ANY DEFICIENCY OCCUR THEN U UTILISED THE GENERAL RESERVE..
