Shareholders, at an agreed amount at an agreed date.
2. The process of discharging the liability / obligation towards Preference Share Capital is
called redemption. So, Redemption = Repayment of Capital during the lifetime of the
Company.
3. Date of redemption is called “Maturity Date” and is usually printed on the Preference Share
Certificate itself.

CONDITIONS TO BE FULFILLED FOR REDEMPTION OF PREFERENCE SHARES

(SECTION 55 OF COMPANIES ACT, 2013)

Authorized by The Articles of Association should contain a provision authorizing the

Articles Company to issue Redeemable Preference Shares (not exceeding 20
years from the date of issue)

redemption, & / or
b) Divisible Profits: Profits otherwise available for distribution as

to CRR is necessary.
(b) Such fresh issue can be made either at
par, or at premium.

Note:
1. A company may redeem its Preference Share Capital out of Capital and Profits, i.e.
combination of above.
2. Redemption out of Capital means that the Company can issue either Equity Shares or
Preference Shares. So, Preference Shares cannot be redeemed by fresh issue of
Debentures
PURPOSE OF TRANSFER TO CRR
Retention of When Preference Shares are redeemed out of Profits, replacement /
Capital retention of Capital is ensured in an indirect manner, by transfer of profit
to CRR. The amount, which would otherwise have been distributed as
dividend, is now retained in the business, in the form of CRR, and this is
subsequently converted into Equity Share Capital, by issuing Bonus
Shares. Transfer to CRR creates non-distributed profits, and maintains
the Capital Base of the Company

Protection of The purpose of transfer to CRR is to ensure Capital Maintenance, and to

Outsiders protect the interests of Outsiders / Creditors of the Company. Transfer to
Interest CRR ensures that there is no reduction in “Shareholders’ Funds” or
Capital Base due to the redemption, and hence the interest of outsiders
is not affected.
