ISSUE OF SHARES TO PROMOTERS :

A company may allot fully paid shares to promoters or any other party for the services rendered by them by way of furnishing technical information, engineering services, plant layout, drawing and designing, etc. without payment. This type of issue of shares to promoters is called issue of shares for consideration other than cash. As the amount paid to promoters for services rendered by them is supposed to be utilised by the company over a long period of time, such expenditure should be treated as capital expenditure and debited to Goodwill Account. The accounting entry in such a case will be as follows:

Illustration:

Bright Ltd. was registered with a share capital of Rs.10,00,000 in equity shares of Rs.10 each. The company acquired factory building worth Rs.1,00,000 and plant and machinery worth Rs.80,000 from Delite Ltd. and issued 18,000 equity shares of Rs. 10 each to the vendors as fully paid-up. The directors also decided to allot 2,000 equity shares credited as full paid to the promoters for their services. Further capital was issued to the public for cash to the extent of Rs 3,00,000 payable in full with the application. All the shares were taken up by the public and fully paid for.
