Can in any FY, the total of paid up capital and share application money(as shown in Bal. sheet of a ltd. Co.), exceed the authorised capital ?

For exp. in FY 05,

Authorised share Capital = Inr 2 crs.

Paid up Share Cap. = Inr 1.5 Crs.

Share application Money =  Rs. 1.0 Cr.

----------------------------------------------------------------

In Fy 06, the authorised capital hs increased to Inr 2.25 crs.

Paid up Capital = Inr 1.75 crs.

Share application money= Inr 0.25 crs.

whats a problem in this ?
yes it is acceptable, no problem at all
Is there any provision in the Companies Act, which authorises to accept (and hold and retain) proceeds received on account of Share Application Money, in the situation where company itself is not authorised to issue share being limitation of authorised share capital? A company has first to raise its authorised capital and then it can accept any share application money.
Nothing new. No problem in that
the restriction is not for issue of shares it is for allotment of shares...a company has to first increase its authorised capital and then allot the shares...as far as issue & receipt of share application money is concerend..authorised capital has no relavance...
There's absolutely no problem.....
thanks all for posting and answering this very very interesting question...really, CAclubindia is truly an outstanding place.. everyday you get something new to learn..
HI Paid up share capital and share application money cant exceed Authorised share capital. Authorised shae capital is maximum amount of share capital that a company can issue whereas paid up capital is out of subscribed capital that is paid by members. Share application money is money received against subscribed capital. So one can understand that if you want to show paid up as well as shae application money on the face of balance sheet, you have to first show paid up shae capital that is fully subscribed plus share application money. So in ur case it will come 0.50 croes + 1.00 crores. Thansk Vijay

it si not matter until allotment of shares
cooolllllll yar

my query is that- in a private limited company, can share application be more than authorised capital? also note that there is no intention to allot shares in future and just to show the money of company as share application money as internal adjustment.
