Through bonus issues, companies try to encourage more retail investor participation in their stock by lowering the price per share.

After the bonus issue, the company’s outstanding shares are increased but not its market capitalization.

Bonus issues don’t dilute shareholders’ equity because they are issued in a constant ratio that keeps the relative equity of each shareholder the same as before the issue.

A company allocates bonus issues according to shareholder’s  stake.

The issuance of bonus shares is not taxable, however shareholders have to pay capital gains tax if they sell them for a net gain.

Companies usually fund a bonus issue through profits or existing share reserves.
