Dear Dheerej,

1) First Sharecapital in this case includes both Equity as well as Prefrence...

2) Let's understand Subscribed Share Capital with an example

 -  Company issues 100 shares @ Rs 10 each - This Rs.1,000 is known as Isuued Share Capital,

 -  Public Applied/Subscribed for 90 shares @ 1 0 each- Rs. 900 is known as subscribed share capital..

 - Company has called Rs. 8 out of FACE VALUE  of Rs. 10 - this Rs. 800 is known as called up share capital

 - people has paid Rs. 7 out of Rs.  - Rs. 700 will be paid up..

Dheeraj..

 

Amir has explained nicely..

Dear Amir and Adarsh thanks for ur concern, but Amir I've not asked about the classification of share capital. I vry well know the meaaning of subscribed capital , plz answer in reference to Sec 224 A that whether sumscribed share capital as mentioned in Sec. 224A includes preference share or equity shares only.As preference shares do not have voting rights.
