(ii) Issued Capital: It is that part of Authorised Capital which is actually offered to the public for subscription.

(iii) Subscribed Capital: It is that part of the Issued Capital which has been subscribed for by the public. Subscribed Capital is shown in the Balance Sheet under two heads:

a) Subscribed and fully paid up: Subscribed and fully paid up capital: It is a case when entire nominal value of a share is called by the company and also paid by the shareholder.

b) Subscribed but not fully paid up: It is a case when:

(i) The company has called up the full nominal value of the share but the shareholder has not paid some part of the nominal value of the share.

(ii) The company has not called up the full nominal value of the share.

(iii) Called up Capital: It refers to that part of the face value of a share called by the directors from shareholders.

(iv) Paid up Capital: It refers to that part of the Called up Capital which has been actually received from the shareholders. When the shareholders have paid the entire call amount, the called up capital and paid up capital are same.

Q.11 What do you mean by the term ‘Share’? Discuss the types of shares, which can be issued under the Companies Act, 2013 as amended to the date.

Ans. Shares refer to the units into which the total share capital of a company is divided. Thus a share is a fractional part of the share capital and forms the basis of ownership interests in the company. The persons who contribute money through shares are called shareholders. As per Section 43 of the Companies Act, 2013 a Company may issue two types of shares:

(1) Preference Shares

(2) Equity Shares

(1) Preference Shares: These shares carry the following two preferential rights:

(a) Dividend at a fixed rate before any dividend is paid to equity shares.

(b) Repayment of capital before anything is paid to equity shares.

However, notwithstanding the above two conditions, a holder of preference shares may have a right to participate fully or to a limited extent in the surpluses of the company as specified in the Memorandum or Articles of the Company. Thus preference shares can be participating or non-participating, cumulative or non-cumulative with reference to dividend, convertible and non-convertible.

(2) Equity Shares: Equity share is that share which is not a preference share. The dividend on equity shares is not fixed and it may vary from year to year depending upon the amount of profits available for distribution. These are the most commonly issued class of shares which carry the maximum rewards and risks of the business.

Q.12 Discuss the process of allotment of shares of a company in case of over subscription.

Ans. ‘Over Subscription’ is a case when applications for more shares are received than the number offered to the public for subscription. In such condition, three alternatives are available to the directors to deal with the situation:

1) They can accept some applications in full and totally reject the others.

2) They can make a pro rata allotment to all. and

3) They can adopt a combination of the above two alternatives.

a) First alternative, when the directors decide to fully accept some applications and totally reject the others. For example, a company invited applications for 20,000 shares and received the applications for 30,000 shares. The directors rejected the applications for 10,000 shares which are in excess of the required number and refunded their application money in full.

b) Second alternative, in this directors opt to make a proportionate allotment to all applicants (called pro-rata allotment) the excess application money received is normally adjusted towards the amount due on allotment. For example, in the event of applications for 20,000 shares being invited and those received are for 30,000 shares, it is decided to allot shares in the ratio of 2:3 to all applicants. It is a case of pro rata allotment and the excess application money received on 10,000 shares would be adjusted towards the amount due on the allotment of 20,000 shares.

c) Third alternative, when the application for some shares is rejected out rightly and pro rata allotment is made to the remaining applicants, the money on rejected applications is refunded and the excess application money received from applicants to whom pro rata allotment has been made is adjusted towards the amount due on the allotment of shares allotted. For example, in the event of applications for 20,000 shares being invited and those received are for 30,000 shares. The directors decided to reject the application for 5,000 shares outright and to make pro rata allotment of 20,000 shares to the applicants for the remaining 25,000 shares so that 4 shares are allotted to every 5 shares applied. In this case, the money on applications for 5,000 shares rejected would be refunded fully and on the remaining 5,000 shares (25,000 – 20,000) would be adjusted against the allotment amount due on 20,000 shares.

Q.13 What is a preference share? Describe the various types of preference shares.

Ans. Preference Shares are the shares carry the following two preferential rights:

(a) Dividend at a fixed rate before any dividend is paid to equity shares.

(b) Repayment of capital before anything is paid to equity shares.

Preference shares can be classified as follows:

1) With reference to dividend

2) With reference to participation in surplus profit and

3) With reference to convertibility

1) With reference to dividend: Cumulative preference shares and Non-cumulative preference shares.

a) Cumulative preference shares: When unpaid dividends on preference shares are treated as arrears and are carried forward to subsequent years, then such preference shares are known as cumulative preference shares. It means unpaid dividend on such shares is accumulated till it is paid off in full.

b) Non-cumulative preference shares: These preference shares have right to get fixed rate of dividend out of the profits of current year only. They do not carry the right to receive arrears of dividend.

2) With reference to participation in surplus profit: Participating preference shares and Non- participating preference shares.

a) Participating preference shares: Those preference shares, which have right to participate in any surplus profit of the company after paying the equity shareholders, in addition to the fixed rate of their dividend, are called participating preference shares.

b) Non- participating preference shares: Preference shares, which have no right to participate on the surplus profit or in any surplus on liquidation of the company, are called non-participating preference shares.

3) With reference to convertibility: Convertible preference shares and Non- convertible preference shares.

a) Convertible preference shares: Those preference shares, which can be converted into equity shares at the option of the holders after a fixed period according to the terms and conditions of their issue, are known as convertible preference shares.

b) Non- convertible preference shares: Preference shares, which are not convertible into equity shares, are called non-convertible preference shares.

Q.14 Describe the provision of law relating to ‘Calls in Arrears’ and ‘Calls in Advance’.

Ans. When any shareholder fails to pay the amount due on allotment or any of the calls, such an amount is known as calls in arrears or unpaid calls. The company if authorised by its Articles of Association may charge interest at the specified rate on calls in arrears from due date to the date of payment. In case, the Articles of Association of the company is silent, Table F of the Companies Act, 2013 shall apply which provides for interest @ 10% p.a. However, the directors have the right to waive the interest on calls in arrears.

Sometimes shareholders pay a part or whole of the amount of the calls not yet made. The amount so received from the shareholders is known as Calls in advance. It is a liability for the company. In case of calls in advance, the company pays interest at the rate stated in its Articles of Association. In the absence of interest clause in the Articles of Association, provisions of Table F of the Companies Act, 2013 apply and the company is liable to pay interest @ 12% p.a. on calls in advance.

Q.15 Explain the terms ‘Over subscription’ and ‘Under subscription’. How are they dealt in accounting records?

Q.17 State clearly the conditions under which a company can issue shares at discount.

Ans. When a share is issued at a price which is less than its face value, it is said that it has been issued at a discount. For example, if a share of the nominal value of ₹100 is issued at ₹90, it is said to have been issued at a discount of 10%.

Prohibition of issue of shares at a discount: As per section 53 of the Companies Act 2013, Companies would no longer be permitted to issue shares at discount.
