Hello sir,
What accounting entries do we need to pass when say our company ABC has invested in XYZ and XYZ has issued bonus share of say 237,000 shares to our company ABC. How should ABC account for these transactions??

It doesn’t! The proportion of shares held remains the same. No money changes hands. The only affect of the bonus issue is that the original shareholding increases

See above thread!
In the above thread, we are the investor in XYZ and it’s XYZ that has issued the bonus shares so … we ARE the receiver
OK?
