Frequently asked questions

Essential clarifications regarding engagement structure, valuation benchmarks, and regulatory oversight.

A bonus issue is the distribution of additional fully paid shares to existing shareholders in proportion to their current holdings, financed through accumulated retained earnings or genuine capital reserves. It transforms undistributed profits into permanent paid-up equity without requiring external cash inflows, interest liabilities, or structural debt.

Bonus shares can strictly be issued out of free reserves built out of genuine profits, securities premium collected in cash, or capital redemption reserves. Revaluation reserves created by revaluing fixed assets cannot be capitalized, ensuring total adherence to tangible, realized balance sheet value.

Unlike debt financing, a bonus issue carries no repayment obligations, financial covenants, or interest drain on operational cash flows. Unlike a rights issue, it requires no cash subscription from shareholders, preserving corporate capital neutrality while broadening the paid-up equity foundation.

A specialized transaction advisor ensures that the enterprise strictly complies with relevant corporate statutes, articles of association, authorized share capital headroom, and disclosure guidelines. They manage board documentation, statutory filing obligations, and coordination with share transfer agents and depositories.

Key prerequisites include authorization in the Articles of Association, adequate unencumbered free reserves, prior approval from the board of directors and shareholders, no outstanding default in statutory employee dues or institutional liabilities, and sufficient authorized share capital.

We operate as an executive matching service connecting business founders and promoter groups directly with licensed merchant bankers, corporate secretaries, and transaction advisors. We do not provide automated software portals; all consultations occur directly between company leadership and senior advisory professionals.
