Please can anybody detail -- What is Share Suspense Account? Also what does it mean or impact mean while studing a company's financials. Sintex Plastic has 12% in share suspense account and nothing in equities/shareholder capital in 2017 , I am assuming of the split from parent company Sintex. But what are the inferences one should make from an accountant stand point. Looking for answers from experts in this form. Thank you!
