Rule 3 of payment of dividend out of reserves

211 views 5 replies
Dear Professional,

Please clarify my doubt regarding payment of dividend out of reserves..

The rate of dividend declare shall not exceed the average of the rates at which dividend was declared in 3 immediate preceding year.

However this rule is not applicable to a company which has not declared any dividend in each of the 3 PFY.

Here what is a meaning of each of the 3 PFY ? All 3 PFY or any 3 PFY ??

Thank you

It means one or more years. It means rule applies to co which paid dividend in all 3 years.

in each of 3 fys doesn't mean in all 3 yrs?

It means if a company has paid dividend in only one or two previous years but not in all three previous years then the average rate is not to be calculated as this condition does not apply. However, other conditions will apply.
