Kinds of Share Capital of Company
Schedule III of the Companies Act, 2013 requires a company to show:
(1) Authorised or Nominal Capital : According to Section 2(8) of the Companies Act, 2013, “Authorised capital or Nominal capital” means such capital as is authorised by the memorandum of a company to be the maximum amount of share capital of a company. It is stated in the Memorandum of Association and is the maximum amount that a company can arise as share capital. It is stated separately for each class of shares, i.e., preference shares and equity shares. It is the maximum amount of share capital under each class of shares which a company can issue for subscription. If a company has to issue more shares than authorised capital, it must increase the authorised or nominal capital first and thereafter issue shares for subscription.
Authorised share capital under each class (equity or preference) may be more or at the most equal to the issued share capital but cannot be less than the issued capital.
(2) Issued Capital: According to Section 2(50) of the Companies Act, 2013, “Issued capital” means such capital as the company issues from time to time for subscription. Thus, issued capital is a part of the authorised capital that is issued for subscription. It includes besides shares issued for subscription. Shares allotted for consideration other than cash, shares subscribed by signatories to the Memorandum of Association and shares taken by directors as qualifying shares. It should be kept in mind that issued capital cannot exceed the company’s authorised share capital.
(3) Subscribed Capital: According to Section 2(86) of the Companies Act, 2013, “Subscribed capital” means such part of the capital which is for the time being subscribed by the members of company. Thus subscribed capital is a part of issued capital which the company has issued for cash or for consideration other than cash. It includes shares issued for subscription and subscribed shares subscribed by signatories to the Memorandum of Association, shares subscribed by the directors as qualifying shares and shares allotted for consideration other than cash.
(4) Called up Capital: It is that part of subscribed capital which is called by the company to pay on shares allotted. It is not necessary for the company to call for the entire amount on shares subscribed for by shareholders. The amount which is not called on subscribed shares is called Uncalled Capital.
(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 as Unpaid Calls on Calls-in-Arrears.
Paid up Capital = Called up Capital – Calls in Arrears
(6) Reserve Capital: It is that part of uncalled capital which has been reserved by the company by passing a special resolution to be called only in the event of its liquidation. This capital cannot be called up during the existence of the company. It would be available only in the event of liquidation as an additional security to the creditors of the company.

Types of Preference Shares

For example, a company has 10,000, 7% preference shares of Rs 100 each and dividend for the years 2015 and 2016 has not been paid. The company earns adequate profits in the year 2017. In this case, the company shall pay Rs 2,10,000 as dividend for three years to the preference shareholders before dividend is paid to the equity shareholders.

(iii) Participating Preference Shares: The Articles of Association of a company may provide that after dividend has been paid to the equity shareholders, the holders of preference shares will also have a right to participate in the remaining profits. The preference shares carrying this right are called Participating Preference Shares.

Question 5.
What is meant by debentures? Describe the different kinds of debentures.
Answer.
Meaning of Debenture
In addition to raising of capital by issue of shares a company requiring funds on long term basis, may borrow money by issue of debentures. A debenture issued by a company is usually in the form of a certificate, given under the seal of the company. Thus, a debenture is a written acknowledgement of a debt taken by the company as these are issued under the seal of the company.
A debenture certificate contains the terms of the repayment of the principal sum at a specified date and the terms of payment of interest at a fixed percent.
According to Section 2 (30) of the Companies Act, 2013 “Debenture includes debentures stock bonds and any other securities of a company whether constituting a charge on the assets of the company or not”.
Types of Debentures
A company may issue the following types of debentures :
(1) Secured or Mortgage Debentures: These debentures are those debentures which are secured either on particular assets of the company called Fixed Charge or on all assets of the company in general, called a Floating Charge. Fixed charge denies the company from dealing with mortgaged assets, where as the floating charge does not prevent the company from using the assets. If the company is unable to repay the debentures on the due date, the debentureholders can realise their money from the assets mortgaged with them. First mortgage debentures are those that have a first claim on the assets charged and second mortgage debentures are those that have a second claim on the assets charged. In India, debentures have necessarily to be secured.
(2) Unsecured or Naked Debentures: These debentures are those debentures which are not given . any security. The holders of such debentures are treated as unsecured creditors at the time of liquidation of the company. Such debentures are not very common these days, so much so that, unless otherwise stated, a debenture is presumed to be secured.
(3) Registered Debentures: Names and address of the holders of such debentures are recorded in a register of the company called “Register of Debenture holders”. Such debentures are not freely transferable. The transfer of such debentures requires the execution of a proper transfer deed. Principal amount and interest on such a debenture is paid to the person whose name appears in the company’s register.
(4) Bearer Debentures: Names and address of the holders of such debentures are not recorded in the company and these debentures are transferable by mere delivery. Payment of principal and interest is made to the bearer of such debentures. Coupons are attached with these debentures and the interest is paid to such persons who produce the coupons in the specified bank.
(5) Redeemable Debentures: Redeemable debentures are those debentures which will be repaid by the company either in lump-sum at the end of a specified period or by installments during the lifetime of the company. Most of the debentures are generally of this type.
(6) Irredeemable or Perpetual Debentures : Irredeemable debentures are those debentures which are not repayable by the company during its lifetime. These debentures are repayable only at the time of liquidation of the company.
(7) Convertible Debentures: Convertible debentures are those debentures which are convertible into equity shares or other securities at a stated rate of exchange either at the option of debenture holders or at the option of the company after a specified period. When only a part of the amount of debenture is convertible into shares, such debentures are called “Partly Convertible Debentures”. When the full amount of debenture is convertible into shares such debentures are called “Fully Convertible Debentures”. SEBI guidelines require that where the conversion is to be made at or after 18 months from the date of allotment but before 36 months any conversion in part or whole shall be optional on the part of the debenture holders. Convertible debentures are very popular these days, as they provide liquidity, safety capital appreciation and assured return to the investors.
