    Shares:

    In simple terms, a share is a percentage of ownership in a company or a financial


    asset. Investors who hold shares of any company are known as shareholders.
    Shares are standard instruments for raising capital for a business by distributing
    them among interested investors.
    An example of a share is when you are entitled to 1/2 of a property.

    Authorized shares:
    Authorized shares (also known as authorized stock or authorized capital stock), are
    defined as the maximum number of shares that a company is legally allowed to
    issue to investors, as per its determinations. The number of authorized shares is
    initially set in a company's articles of incorporation. The shareholders can increase
    the number of authorized shares at any time at a shareholders meeting, as long as a
    majority of shareholders vote in favor of the change.

    Issued shares:
    Issued shares are those shares that have been distributed to shareholders by a
    corporation. These shares are issued either as compensation paid to employees or
    suppliers, or investors in exchange for cash. The number of issued shares can be
    equal to or less than the total number of authorized shares.

    Unissued shares:
    An Unissued stock refers to stock owned by a company but has not been issued or
    offered for sale in the market. Unissued stock is a class of stock that has been
    authorized for use in the charter of a company but is yet to be issued. Unissued
    stocks do not accumulate dividends, and neither are they useful for casting votes
    during shareholders’ elections.

    Subscribed shares:
    The term subscribed refers to newly issued securities that an investor agrees or
    intends to buy before the official issue date. When investors subscribe, they expect
    to own the number of shares they designate once the offering is complete. This is
    common with institutional investors who are guaranteed shares by subscribing to a
    company's initial public offering (IPO) before knowing the actual IPO price on the
    first day of trading.

    Unsubscribed shares:
    The term unsubscribed refers to any shares that are part of an initial public
    offering (IPO) that are not purchased ahead of the official release date. This means
    that demand for company stock is low and is often a sign that the company and
    its underwriters have priced the IPO share price too high.  

    Called up shares:
    Called-up share capital is shares issued to investors under the understanding that
    the shares will be paid for at a later date or in installments. Shares may be issued in
    this manner to sell shares on relaxed terms to investors, which may increase the
    total amount of equity that a business can obtain.

    Uncalled up shares:
    Capital that a company has in the form of shares that have not been completely
    paid for by shareholders. Called-up share capital consists of shares that are not
    fully paid for upfront. The full payment for these shares will be done in the future
    at a later date.

    Paid-up shares:
    Paid-up capital is the amount of money a company has received from shareholders
    in exchange for shares of stock. Paid-up capital is created when a company sells its
    shares on the primary market directly to investors, usually through an initial public
    offering (IPO).

    Unpaid up shares:
    If a member receives company shares but does not pay any of the required nominal
    value (and premium) to the company, the shares are 'unpaid'.

    Call in arrears:
    If an amount, called in respect of a share, is not paid prior to the date fixed for
    payment, such amount which is not paid, is called “Calls-in-arrears”.
