As per section 2(22) of the Income-tax Act, 1961 (Act), any distribution of accumulated profits to the shareholders, whether capitalised or not, pursuant to capital reduction, is considered as dividend.
What Happens if we consider this under section 115QA as Gain!?
Capital gain reduction is not Dividend distribution. Face value of shares go down by reduction in capital.
