What is a Bonus Issue?
A bonus issue, also known as a scrip issue or a capitalization
issue, is an offer of free additional shares to existing
shareholders. A company may decide to distribute further
shares as an alternative to increasing the dividend payout.
For example, a company may give one bonus share for every
five shares held.

CONDITIONS FOR ISSUE OF BONUS
SHARES
The issue of bonus shares must be authorized by the
Articles of the company.
The issue of bonus shares must be recommended by the
resolution of the Board of Directors. Also this
recommendation must be later approved by the
shareholders of the company in the general meeting. The
Controller of Capital Issues must give permission to the
issue.
The above mentioned are the conditions that a
company must fulfil to issue bonus shares.

 bonus shares are issued for meeting the liquidity needs.
When there are situations where the company is running
out of cash, and shareholders are expecting their regular
dividends, then bonus issues are given to shareholders. By
selling these bonus shares, the shareholders can meet
their liquidity needs.
 Restructuring the company's reserves is another reason
why bonus shares are issued. But there is a system on
how bonus issues take place.
What are the Reasons for
Bonus Issues?

Procedure for bonus issue

HOW WE CAN GET BONUS
SHARE
To be eligible for the different types of bonus shares you must
hold the shares of the company in the demat account. If you
want to open a demat account, you can consider Kotak
Securities. They are the leading broking firm of India that
provides premium services to the clients at the most affordable
rates.

ADVANTAGES AND
DISADVANTAGES
 Companies low on cash may issue bonus
shares rather than cash dividends as a
method of providing income to
shareholders.
 Because issuing bonus shares increases the
issued share capital of the company, the
company is perceived as being bigger than
it really is, making it more attractive to
investors.
 In addition, increasing the number of
outstanding shares decreases the stock
price, making the stock more affordable for
retail investors.
 However, issuing bonus shares takes
more money from the cash reserve than
issuing dividends does.
 Also, because issuing bonus shares does
not generate cash for the company, it
could result in a decline in the dividends
per share in the future, which
shareholders may not view favourably.
 In addition, shareholders selling bonus
shares to meet liquidity needs lowers
shareholders' percentage stake in the
company, giving them less control over
how the company is managed.

IMPACT OF BONUS ISSUE ON HOLDINGS
Impact on holdings
The share price falls in the ratio of the bonus allotment. However, this does not
affect the overall value of holdings.
Example scenario
Mr A holds 10 shares of Reliance at ₹1000 each and the company has announced
a bonus issue in the ratio of 2:1. So Mr A will receive 2 bonus shares of Reliance
for every share held on the record date.
Mr A’s holdings will now have 30 shares of Reliance after the bonus issue (10
originally bought + 20 bonus shares).
In the above example, the share price will drop to ₹333.33 [1000/(2+1)] but this
won’t change the value of Mr A’s holdings.
Value of holdings before bonus: 10 × 1000 = ₹10,000
Value of holdings after bonus: 30 × 333.33 = ₹10,000
If a company announces a 1:2 bonus and an investor holds just 1 share, they will
get 0.5 shares as a bonus. The 0.5 shares are known as partial bonus shares that
are settled in cash, and the funds will be credited to the investor's primary bank
account.

shares will also double and its lot size in derivative market also
double. But, their holding (in terms of percentage) in the
company remains the same. Also, earnings per share (Earnings
