Dear Sir generally section 372A of the Companies act 1956 gives the explanation of the term free reserves. It includes those reserves which are as per the latest balance sheet of the company are free for distribution as dividend and include balance to the credit of the securities premium account but shall not include the share application money.Here the loan is the advance of money which shall be returned with or without interest. Hence it shall never be treated as free to distribute as dividend.
