CAPITAL REDEMPTION RESERVE?

When shares are redeemed or bought back, the company is required to either refill the capital by issuing fresh shares in lieu of the redeemed or bought back shares or to transfer their funds to an account called the Capital Redemption Reserve (CRR). As the name suggests, it is a reserve created when capital is redeemed. In the eyes of this reserve is treated as capital for all purposes. If company wants to redeem its shares from partly fresh issue or partly out of divisible profits, then the balance between redeem and fresh issue should be transferred to capital redemption reserve. Funds in Capital Redemption Reserve can be used for only one thing - issue of fully paid up bonus shares. Thus, any amount transferred to CRR will eventually be converted into share capital.
