capital reduction is the process of decreasing a company's shareholder equity through share cancellations and share repurchases, also known as share buybacks.  It is done for multiple reasons but mainly so that the shareholder value increases producing a more efficient capital structure. It can be done by increasing profit margins, using more financial leverage, etc.

The capital reduction amount is done by the companies to increase the capital amount for the purpose of making certain changes. It is a temporary account created for reassessing the condition of the company by paying out for the losses and debts through the shares of the stakeholders and other methods.

Explanation:

  • The Capital Reduction Account is started by the companies for the process of internal modifications. The account is made by reducing share value of the stakeholders, through various forms of purchases of shares and more. Once the process is completed the account is not operational any more.
