Surrender of share is an alternative to capital reduction. In this case the share holders volunteer to return some of the shares back to the company along with duly signed transfer deed.

you did t clear the doubt exactly.i am asking is ,should we transfer that amount to capital reduction a/c?
 

Dear sajay kumar,

 Exactly the amount which is forgone by the creditors or other liability holder and the amount of  share surrender all these aretrnsfer to Capital Reduction And these amounts are utilised for the set off and write off the P/L debit balance, preliminary exp., FA , CA , Investments etc. and it deals with sec. 100 to 105 of Companies Act, 1956.

surrendered shares are not liability of the company towards share holders but the balance of share surrender after adjusting above items, is transfer to Capital Reserve A/c.
