BONUS SHARE / BONUS ALLOTMENT MEANING
Some times it is generally misconcepted by the share holder that allotment of bonus say in ratio 1:1 means that’s the number of the shares get doubled with the same price thereby doubling there stock value making 100% gain.This concept is hundred percent wrong t , forget that you can get 100% gain overnight.The basic concept is that when a company makes a profit it doesn’t distribute the entire portion of profit in form of dividend but keep reserving a part of profit every year for future needs of the company. That part of reserve is kept under liability head as “reserve & surplus” when there is need of capital or fund in the company for development , acquisition , new unit , research work etc the company instead of taking loan from the market they transfer the reserve to capital account whereby the equity get raised with same value so in such case the number of shares are increased in the ratio as the capital is increased and such increase in the number of shares will lead to bonus share allotment there is nothing that the company has got profit to doubalise your holding so only the no. of share held is doubled or increased in the ratio as bonus allotment. So as the number of share get increased in the ratio of bonus allotment but the price get reduced in the same ratio thereby making the total stock value same as before. The only profit of bonus issue is that when bonus allotment news is flashed the price of the stock soar as the company is going to do something positive for which the transfer of reserve to capital is done and that is the only gain a shareholder gain by bonus issue.
