* Administration is a wider term while management is its subset.

* Administration is the paper work. Management is how you deal with the people or people management.

* Administration manages the outside contacts and the facility as a whole. Management is closer to the employees.

* Administration is over the management and more over the money of the organization and licensing of an organization.

* Management manages employees. As a manger, you can also be administrator but as an administrator, you may not be a manager.

<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">
Capital Profits of a company are not available for distribution as dividend etc. to shareholders either Ordinary or Preferred Shareholders. I think the capital profits are not available to any of the above, This profit is available for company itself. For example Share premium is a capital profit, it can be utilized for wirring of preliminary expenses, commission/discounts on issuance of shares, and bonus shares.
I need your further guidance in this regard

Dear Danish

You explained the capital reserve in god way but you did not mention the capital profit (Capital Reserves) arising from the purchase of subsidiary at lesser amount.

For instantce Comapany A purchased 60% shares of Company B (60,000 thousands shares out of 100,000 shares @ 10 each ) at a cost of 500,000/- . The capital reserve or capital Profit of Comapany A will be

Paid Up value of Shares========== Rs 600.000
(60,000x10)
Amount Paid by Company A =======Rs 500,000
Capital Reserve =============== Rs 100,000/-

This capital profit shall only be available to the equity shareholders for issuing them right share or for any other purpose,alowed by Law.

Regards
