What Are Bonus Shares?: When a company issues some additional shares and decides to offer them to its current shareholders based on number of shares possessed by them. The key feature of bonus share is that the company issues these shares to shareholders without any extra cost.

Reasons for issuing bonus shares: Bonus shares are issued under the circumstance when a company fails to pay a dividend to its existing shareholders as a result of lack of funds despite earning decent profits for a particular quarter. In such a situation, the company seeks to issue bonus shares to the current shareholders instead of making the dividend payment. Bonus shares are unusually offered to the shareholders after determining their current holding in the company. The process of issuing bonus shares to the shareholders is also known as capitalization of profits as it is issued out of profits or company's reserves.
