Premium on redemption of preference shares

Premium on redemption of preference shares

(a) For the companies whose financial statements comply with the accounting standards as prescribed under section 133, the premium payable on redemption shall be provided out of the profits of the company, before the shares are redeemed.

(b) For redemption of any preference shares issued on or before the commencement of 2013 Act, the premium payable on redemption shall be provided out of the profits of the company, or out of the company’s securities premium account, before such shares are redeemed.

(c) For the companies whose financial statements need not comply with the accounting standards as prescribed under section 133, the premium payable on redemption shall be provided out of the profits of the company, or out of the company’s securities premium account, before such shares are redeemed.

Case 1: Redemption of preference shares out of the profits of the company which would otherwise be available
for dividend.

If the redeemable preference shares are redeemed out of the profits of the company which would otherwise be available for dividend, the “Capital Redemption Reserve Account” has to be created which will represent the redeemable preference shares in the balance sheet after the redemption. This capital redemption reserve should be equal to the amount of Preference Shares to be redeemed. The profits available for dividend have to be transferred to Capital Redemption Reserve Account.

Case 2: If the redeemable preference shares are redeemed out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares made for the purpose of redemption:

If the redeemable preference shares are redeemed out of the proceeds of fresh issue of shares, the new Share Capital Account raised by fresh issue will take the place of the Redeemable Preference Share Capital Account after the redemption. Thus, in such a case, new Share Capital Account (Equity or Preference) must be equal to the redeemable preference shares redeemed.

First of all, entries for fresh issue of shares will be passed. Then entries for redemption passed as given in previous case.

Case 3: If the redeemable preference shares are redeemed partly out of the profits of the company which would otherwise be available for dividend and partly out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares made for the purpose of redemption:

If the redeemable preference shares are redeemed partly out of the profits of the company which would otherwise be available for dividend and partly out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares equity or preference, the Capital Redemption Reserve Account and the new Share Capital Account taken together will replace the Redeemable Preference Share Capital redeemed. Thus in such a case, Redeemable Preference Share Capital redeemed = Capital Redemption Reserve Account + New Share Capital Account (Equity or Preference).

Here, all the entries shown under (i) and (ii) have to be passed. But there are certain common entries which can be combined together.

Illustration 1
(When preference shares are redeemed out of the profits of the company).

Vanities Ltd. had an issue 1,000, 12% Redeemable Preference Shares of ` 100 each, repayable at a premium of 10%. These shares are to be redeemed out of the accumulated reserves, which are more than the necessary sum required for redemption. Show the necessary entries in the books of the company, assuming that the premium on redemption of shares has to be written off against the company’s Securities Premium Reserves.
