If you read the definition of private company given in 3(1) (iii) of the Companies Act, 1956 says that the minimum paid up capital should not be less than one lakh rupees it means paid up capital includes equity shares and preference shares for constituting paid up capital.

On the basis of above interpretation the maximum number of 50 members includes preference shareholders along with equity shareholders.
