Solution
- Yes, the Board can recommend a dividend of Rs. 5/- per share out of free reserves. This is because companies are allowed to pay final dividend out of their free reserves.
- No, the Board cannot declare the dividend without shareholders’ approval at the AGM. The dividend, as recommended by the Board of Directors, is approved and declared by a resolution passed at the Annual General Meeting by the shareholders.
- No, the Board cannot give dividends in the form of gifts. This is because dividends must be paid in cash and not in kind.
