      XYZ Ltd. plans a buyback of 10 lakh equity shares at

      ₹200 each. Face value is ₹10. The company will use reserves for this. What impact will it have on share capital and reserves?

      B Share capital remains unchanged, reserves increase Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Share capital and reserves decrease Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Only reserves decrease Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Buyback reduces share capital (to the extent of face value) and reserves (to the extent of premium paid). Here, ₹10 crore goes from share capital and ₹190 crore from reserves.
