Correct Answer: Writing off capital losses.


Solution : Answer = Writing off capital losses.

Securities Premium Reserve cannot be utilized for writing off capital losses. This is because capital losses are incurred from investments or asset sales, and utilizing premium reserves for this purpose would not be appropriate. A Securities Premium Reserve is typically used for issuing fully paid bonus shares or writing off discounts on securities.
Hence, the correct option is 1.
