COMPARATIVE STUDY ON BONUS SHARE & STOCK SPLIT

PRESENTED BY:Pratyush Kumar Navajyoti Martha

A bonus share is a free share of stock given to current shareholders in a company, based upon the number of shares that the shareholder already owns.

BONUS SHARE

While the issue of bonus shares increases the total number of shares issued and owned, it does not change the value of the company. Although the total number of issued shares increases, the ratio of number of shares held by each shareholder remains constant.

A bonus share issue is not a dividend. This is almost never a distribution in the corporate law sense. because they represent no economic event NO WEALTH CHANGES hands.

Sometimes a company will change the number of shares in issue by capitalizing its reserve. It just create a change in the structure of the companys shareholders Equity (IN ACCOUNTING).
