Subscribed Capital

◈Definition

Subscribed capital is the portion of issued share capital that shareholders have agreed to take — whether or not the full price has been paid yet. It sits between issued capital (what the company has offered) and paid-up capital (what has actually been paid for). In most Indian private limited companies, subscribed and paid-up capital are the same, because partly-paid shares are uncommon.
