NOMINAL CAPITAL
Where shares issued for subscription are wholly subscribed for, issued capital would mean the same thing as
‘subscribed capital’. That part of issued capital which is not subscribed by the public is called ‘Unsubscribed
capital’. Subscribed capital cannot be more than issued capital.
If, say, 13,000 shares of Rs 100 each are offered to the public and the public applies for 12,000 shares, the
subscribed capital will be Rs 12,00,000.
Called Up Capital
Uncalled share capital is the portion of a company's share capital that shareholders have not yet been required to
pay for. It is the amount of money that shareholders may be called upon to pay in the future if the company
needs additional funds. Uncalled share capital is not recorded on a company's balance sheet until it is called up.
Example
If The Board Calls for 12000 out of 15000 The Remaining Shares which are not called
Shares of 60 Per Share (60x12000)= 720000 is Known As Un-Called Capital.
Will be Called Up Capital (3000x60)= 180000
Paid Up Capital
Paid up Capital is the total amount paid up on shares issued. It is equal to called
up capital less calls in arrears.
For example- Let's say a company issues 100 shares with a par value of ₹10 each. If the
shares are sold for ₹15 each, then the paid-up capital would be ₹1500.
