The company name, record date and new authorised capital could not be verified, so none is given. Each holder&#8217;s share count becomes 11 times the old count.<\/em><\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#F0F9FF;border-left:4px solid #2E7D32;border-radius:6px;padding:14px 18px;margin:18px 0;\">\n<p style=\"margin:0;color:#1F4E79;font-size:14px;\"><strong>Quick Answer<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:8px 0 0;\">A sugar company board has declared 10 bonus shares for every one share held, so a holder of 100 shares would receive 1,000 bonus shares and own 1,100 in total. A bonus issue does not change the company&#8217;s market value, so the share price adjusts to about one eleventh of its earlier level on the ex-date (my calculation). I could not verify the company name, the record date or the new authorised capital, so this guide explains how they work and where to find them in the filing. Check the exchange announcement for the record date, the ex-date and the authorised capital before you act on the sugar stock bonus shares.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>A sugar industry company has announced a bonus issue of 10 shares for every share held by eligible shareholders. The headline calls it 1:10 and the text describes 10 new shares for each existing share, which is a 10 for 1 bonus. The board meeting outcome also covered the record date and a change in authorised capital.<\/p>\n<p>This guide explains how sugar stock bonus shares work, what the 1:10 ratio means, how the price adjusts, why authorised capital must rise, how the record date decides eligibility and what you should check. Every figure below is a calculation from the ratio, and I do not name the company.<\/p>\n<p>Anyone searching for sugar stock bonus shares should first confirm the company name and the filing, because the exact dates are in the exchange announcement.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:24px;\"><strong><a

Sugar stock bonus shares at 10 for 1 would raise the share count 11 times, which is rare for a sugar stock.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Risk:<\/strong> A mistaken reading of the ratio of sugar stock bonus shares changes the whole calculation. Always read the exchange filing, which states the number of sugar stock bonus shares for each share held.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:24px;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/screeners\">Screen sugar stocks on the Univest Screener<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Happens_to_the_Share_Price_After_the_Bonus\"><\/span><strong>What Happens to the Share Price After the Bonus<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A bonus issue moves reserves into share capital and does not bring in any new money.

Confirm the ratio in the filing.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_happens_to_the_share_price_after_the_bonus\"><\/span><strong>What happens to the share price after the bonus?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> It is adjusted on the ex-date. With 10 bonus shares for every one held, the price falls to about one eleventh (my calculation) and the value of your holding stays the same.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_does_a_bonus_issue_need_a_change_in_authorised_capital\"><\/span><strong>Why does a bonus issue need a change in authorised capital?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Bonus shares turn reserves into paid-up capital. If the new paid-up capital would exceed the authorised limit, the company must raise the limit first.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_record_date_for_the_sugar_stock_bonus_shares\"><\/span><strong>What is the record date for the sugar stock bonus shares?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> I could not verify it. The record date decides who is eligible, and it is stated in the exchange announcement.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_tax_payable_on_sugar_stock_bonus_shares\"><\/span><strong>Is tax payable on sugar stock bonus shares?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> No tax is payable when sugar stock bonus shares are received. Their cost is treated as nil, and capital gains tax applies when you sell, at the rates in force.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_bonus_shares_create_value\"><\/span><strong>Do bonus shares create value?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> No. The market value of the company stays the same, and per share measures such as earnings and book value are divided by the new share count.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Should_I_buy_the_sugar_stock_for_the_bonus\"><\/span><strong>Should I buy the sugar stock for the bonus?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> This article does not constitute investment advice.
