can't be issued in lieu of dividend 

but if a company issues bonus shares,company usually avoid dividend payment..is this not called lieu of dividend indirectly?
In lieu of dividend generally means In exchange of a proposed dividend
Cannot issue bonus shares in lieu of dividend means once dividend is declared by board and agreed by the members in a general meeting, bonus shares cannot be issued instead of actually paying out dividend. Payment or dividend or issuance of bonus shares both depend on a Company's strategy and it's resources at a given point of time.
There is a difference between act, tacts,and facts. Bonus shares cannot be issued. in lieu of dividend but tactics used by the companies not to declare dividend or nominal dividend when issue bonus shares. Compliances of law in letters but guilty intention. It's also true that sometimes there are good reasons behind issuance of bonus shares. Thanks and regards
i think divinded and bonus are 2 different aspect.
