The liability of each member of such company is limited to the unpaid amount of shares and premium, if any, held by him.
NO. A CO. LIMITED BY SHARES IS A CO. THAT CANNOT ISSUE MORE SHRES THAN DESCRIBED IN MOA.
UNPAID AMT ON SHARES IS A DIFFERENT MATTER
"company limited by shares" means at the time of winding up of the company, a member can only be asked to pay according to nominal value or the unpaid call amount of the share.
For More details read my Article at the below mentioned link: BASIC UNDERSTANDING ABOUT COMPANIES Companies limited by shares
These types of companies are quite common in commercial, trading and industrial world. Such companies are characterised with an authorised share capital of a certain amount, which is divided into shares. The authorised share capital may comprise of more than one kind of shares, viz. ordinary or equity shares (voting and non-voting) and preference shares. The liability of each member of such company is limited to the unpaid amount of shares and premium, if any, held by him.
Example
If you have 1 share of rs. 100, and you paid for it only rs. 80 (say) till date, then the company may asked you for rs. 20 (which would be your liability limited to rs. 20 on share) only, when they need it, not more than that.
