share premium accounts
Under the Companies Act 1985, if the amount paid to the company on subscription for the issue of shares is greater than their nominal value, the surplus is called share premium. The aggregate of the share premium is transferred in the company's accounts to an account called the "share premium account". It may be used to pay bonus shares issued to members or in writing-off preliminary expenses or the expenses of a new issue. It can also be used to provide the premium on redemption of debentures.
