    As per Companies Act, 2013 – Section 69, this transfer to CRR is compulsory when buy-back is done out of free reserves or securities premium.In a buy-back, the company's share capital gets reduced. But the share capital is considered a protection (or safety cushion) for the company’s creditors. So, when the company uses its free reserves or securities premium to buy back shares, the capital is reduced. To balance that reduction and maintain the same capital base (which protects creditors), an equal amount is transferred to the Capital Redemption Reserve (CRR).
