or normal capital
• The maximum amount of capital, which a
company is authorized to raise from the public
by the issue of shares, is known as authorized
capital.
• It is a capital with which a company is
registered, therefore it is also known as
registered capital.

• Generally, a company does not issue its authorized
capital to the public for subscription, but issues a
part of it.

which is offered to the public for subscription,
including shares offered to the vendor for
consideration other than cash.

subscription to the public is known as 'un-issued
capital'.

called by the company to pay on shares allotted.

entire amount on shares subscribed for by
shareholders.
• The amount, which is not called on subscribed
shares, is called uncalled capital.

8. 5. Paid-up Capital
• It is that part of called up capital, which actually
paid by the shareholders. Therefore it is known
as real capital of the company.
• Whenever a particular amount is called and a
shareholder fails to pay the amount fully or
partially, it is known an unpaid calls or calls in
arrears.
