A company issues 10,000, 9% preference shares of ₹100 each, redeemable at a premium of 10%. The shares are issued at par. What is the amount to be transferred to the Capital Redemption Reserve (CRR)?
A. ₹10,00,000
B. ₹11,00,000
C. ₹1,00,000
D. ₹9,00,000
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
When preference shares are issued at par and redeemed at a premium, the CRR must be created out of free reserves equal to the nominal value of the shares redeemed. Therefore, CRR = 10,000 * ₹100 = ₹10,00,000. The premium on redemption is provided out of securities premium or P&L.
