Authorized Share Capital Increase - Overview
A company may need to extend its authorized share capital before issuing new equity shares and increasing paid-up capital. Authorized share capital is that the total value of shares a corporation can issue, while paid-up capital is that the total value of shares the corporate has issued. Paid-up capital can never exceed authorized capital. Hence, if an organization having a licensed capital of Rs.10 lakhs and paid-up capital of Rs.10 lakhs would adore to induct new shareholders, it can do so either by:
(a) Increasing authorized share capital and issuing new shares. (or)
(b) Transferring shares from existing shareholders to the new shareholders.
Usually, in most of the cases, new shares are issued and authorized capital is increased.
