inner choose imgA company upon its incorporation records the foundation upon which it is built – its objectives, founding members and importantly its Increase in Authorized Share Capital in its Memorandum of association (MOA). The Companies Act, 2013 defines authorized capital to mean the maximum amount of share capital, as authorized by the company’s memorandum i.e. the maximum value of shares the company may issue. What this denotes is the maximum value of securities that the company can issue in a legal manner. Now, as the business grows and expands, its natural needs foremost include getting funding. This can be in the nature of either debt or equity. Whenever a company chooses to go for the equity route to raise money, it is then supposed to first check the value of share capital already issued and subscribed against the authorized share capital of the company.

Process for alteration of share capital

Types of Share Capital

Authorized Share Capital: It is the maximum ceiling limit beyond which the company cannot issue shares without the alteration of share capital. Also called ‘registered capital’ or nominal capital’, this is the total of issued and unissued shares

Issued Share Capital: A part of ‘authorised capital’ that is issued or offered to the investors

Unissued Share Capital: As the name suggests, it is the capital that is still unissued and over time the company issues this to raise capital

Subscribed Capital: It is part of ‘issued capital’ that is fully subscribed by the public. If the issued capital = 12,000 shares, then the subscribed shares can be 10,000 shares as per the above-mentioned example #1

Called-Up Capital: It is the part of ‘subscribed capital’ that is called up by the company from investors in instalments. The capital that is still not called is known as ‘uncalled share capital’, which is the contingent liability of the shareholder

Paid-Up Capital: A portion of ‘called-up capital’ that is paid by the shareholder to the company

Reserve Share Capital: This is the special type of share capital that is only to be sold on the occasion of liquidation and bankruptcy. These shares make liquidation easier and have various restrictions attached to them

Different types of Alteration of Share Capital

According to Section 61 of the Companies Act of 2013, there are five distinct ways to change the share capital:

  • Sub Division of Shares

A company’s share capital can also be changed by dividing the value of the shares held by its shareholders. The corporation can divide its higher-denomination shares into lesser denominations under Section 61. The corporation can only do so if the agreement of the association permits it. If partially paid-up shares are subdivided, the condition that must be met is that the difference between the paid-up and unpaid amounts remains the same. This method of changing share capital results in shareholders possessing a greater number of shares with lower denominations.

  • To Increase an Authorized Capital

Registered or nominal capital is another name for authorized capital. This is the amount of money needed to start a business. By amending the capital clause in the Memorandum of Association, the company can increase its share capital.

  • Conversion of Shares into Stock

The Company can also change the capital of its shares by converting fully paid up shares into stock. The whole number of fully paid up shares is referred to as stock. The corporation can only do so if its articles of association allow it. The corporation can also convert its equity back into shares.

  • Consolidation of Shares

The company can also change its share capital by combining shares of lower denominations into larger denominations. If the consolidation results in a change in the voting rights of shareholders, the tribunal or court must provide authorization.

  • Canceling the unissued Shares 

The corporation can also cancel any outstanding debt. However, this does not result in a change in share capital. There is no journal entry and no treatment in the accounts books when using this method.
