Reserves
Meaning:
Reserves mean amounts set aside out of profits and other surplus to meet future uncertainties. In other words, a reserve is meant for meeting any unknown liability or loss in the future.

Revenue Reserves:
These reserves come into existence out of profits which have been earned in the course of day-to-day business operations. Therefore, the revenue reserves represent undistributed profits and as such are available for the distribution of dividends.
(i) General Reserve:
Usually, the businessmen do not withdraw the entire profits from the business but retain a part of it in the business to meet unforeseen future uncertainties. Profits so retained in the business for 'a rainy day' are known as 'General Reserve'. Similarly, companies also do not distribute the entire profits as dividends but keep, aside a part of it in the form of General Reserve. Such reserves are also termed as 'Contingency Reserves' or 'Free Reserves' because these are not created for any specific purpose and can be freely used for any purpose.
