Increase In Business Capital

Actualise. Share Capital Increase.

     

    A company may need to increase its authorised share capital before it issues new equity shares to increase the paid-up capital. Authorised share capital refers to the total value of the shares a company is allowed to issue, while paid-up capital is the total value of the shares a company has issued.

    Why should Businesses increase Authorised Capital

    Paid-up capital can never exceed authorised capital. Therefore, if companies having an authorised capital of Rupees 10 lakhs and paid-up capital of Rupees 10 lakhs would like to bring in new shareholders, it can do the same either by:

    • Increasing their authorized share capital by issuing new shares. (or)
    • Transferring shares from the pre-existing shareholders to new ones.
