ya, i saw ur reply than only came up with the above post, because i thought u wr not sure...
Resources of Buy Back
A Company can purchase its own shares from
(i) free reserves; Where a company purchases its own shares out of free reserves, then a sum equal to the nominal value of the share so purchased shall be transferred to the capital redemption reserve and details of such transfer shall be disclosed in the balance-sheet or
(ii) securities premium account; or
(iii) proceeds of any shares or other specified securities. A Company cannot buyback its shares or other specified securities out of the proceeds of an earlier issue of the same kind of shares or specified securities.

I request not to give a fluke at it
Pls reply only if u are 100% sure & with Suitable reasons
HEY SHREYANS..........as per sec 77A of COMPANIES ACT 1956,no specific order has been given ,regarding the transfer of d amount to CRR.
U CAN TRANSFER IT IN NE ORDER
ITS PURPOSE:-
THE AMT IS TRANSFERD 2 CRR JUST 2 KEEP D CAPITAL INTACT......SO IT DUS NT MATTER IN WCH ORDER Y TRANSFER D AMOUNT COS D REULTING OVERALL CAPITAL REMAINS INTACT,NO MATTER WCH ORDER U FOLLOW!!!
N CHILL YR EVN IPCC STUDNTS HAV A REPLY 2 DS QUERY.........
You should follow the sequence as specified by you.
Sec-78 of Companies Act has specified the limited purposes for which securities premium can be used among them one of which is to provide for buy back. But as regards to GR & P/L no such limited use is applicable. So it would be prudent & rational to first use those reserves which has limited uses (SP) rather than those which can be used for any purpose (GR, P/L). So it would be rational to use SP before GR & P/L.

@ Akansha
But both Sec. Prem. & gen reserves have different Uses & we are reducing the balance of them by Creating CRR, So dont you think that there must be some regulation regarding this
