Capital and Assets of the

Industry/company
Capital and Assets have included all
kinds of properties, whether movable or
immovable, tangible or intangible,
whether related to business or not.
Capital assets are significant pieces of
property such as homes, cars,
investment properties, stocks, bonds,
and even collectibles or art. For
businesses, a capital asset is a type of
asset with a useful life longer than a year
that is not intended for sale in the regular
course of the business's operation.
Capital is the value of the investment in
the business by the owner(s). It is that
part of the business that belongs to the
owner; hence it is often described as the
owner’s interest. Capital is the net worth
of a company or the money that is
required to produce goods.
Assets are the economic resources
belonging to a business. Assets could be
money in a cash register or bank
account, or items such as property,
fixtures and furniture, equipment, motor
vehicles, and stock or goods for resale.
An important asset in businesses which
sell goods or services on credit is money
owed to the enterprise by customers.
Assets are things that have a value and
can be sold in the market for a monetary
value.
The capital or the fund is the most
important part of the company or
industry and the fund required to set up
any company or industry is known as the
capital of the company. The capital is
collected from the shareholders or
owner of the company or industry. If any
Limited or Private Limited company has
registered on the office of the register of
companies, the capital has been
provided in the Memorandum of
Association (MoA) of the company.
There are alternative ways to register the
industry, which are guided and
governed by the Private Firm Register
Act, 2014 and Partnership Act, 2020. The
share capital is divide and provided in
MoA of the company/industry, which are
such as;

● The division of the share capital into
shares of the fixed amount;
According to the Companies Act, 2063,
when anyone registeres a company, the
shareholders must agree to take the
share amount based on the issued capital
of the purpose company. The MoA must
show the names of the shareholders who
have agreed to take shares and the
numbers of shares each will take. These
people are subscribers of the company.
This provision has provided on the Part 3
Sec.18 (e) of CA, 2063 whereas; "the
figure of the authorized capital of the

According to CA, 2063 the share capital

prescribed on AoA and MoA which are
as follows;
a) Authorized Capital:- the provision of

authorized capital is a limited


company's authorized share capital is
the amount of capital with which its

company shall be fifty rupees per share
or shall be equivalent to such amount
exceeding fifty rupees as is divisible
by the figure ten as provided in the

articles of association.) and which is
states on the MoA & AoA. The
authorized capital may not be the same
as its issued capital.
b) Issued Capital:- The provision of
issued share capital refers to normal

private company should not allocate any
share for the public and shareholder up
to 101 only. The provision of payment of
amount of shares is provided on Section
