Then the company can demand premium with the face value or nominal value of shares. This is called issue of shares on premium. Suppose if the face value of shares is RS.100 Company can issue of his 10000 @ Rs. 105 it means company is also demanding RS. 5 per share as premium. According to new amendments in Company law 1956, Company must open security premium account, if co. issue shares on premium.

There are many type of debenture which can be issued by company. It may convertible or non convertible.

Accounting Treatment of Provision for Income Tax Before writing this article , I have studied deeply several books of accounting . Actually this type of provision is needed in Corporate type business .
