Nominal or Authorized or Registered Capital
Section 2(8) of the Companies Act, 2013, defines Nominal Capital as the amount of capital that the Memorandum of the company authorizes as the share capital of the company. Hence, it is the registered amount authorized that can be raised by issuing shares.
The company also pays stamp duty in this amount. Typically, you can calculate nominal capital by taking into consideration the working and reserve capital needs of the company.
