Non Receipt of Subscription Money after incorporation

Dear Members,

Company formed. A, B & C held 1000 shares in a Pvt Ltd Company. Now after incorporation C refuses to deposit the subscripttion money into the bank. Now what will be the accounting treatment for unpaid share capital.

Is there any capital reduction impact on paid up share capital?

Can we file the form INC-20A commencement without unpaid shares?

Thank You in advance.
