Called up capital - Rs.10,00,000/- (100,000 shares of Rs.10 each)

dividend proposed and declared is 10%

Please Clarify. Thanks in advance.

Shall it not be on just 950,000 .. which is the paid up amount of the shares on which no arrears or default exist ??? Had a confusion with the matter.

08 June 2014 beg to disagree. it will be in proportion to paid up capital only if authorised by companies Articles. Please refer section 51 of the Companies act 2013. the corresponding section to old act is Section 93.

so first check the articles of the company.
