AUTHORISED SHARE CAPITAL IS THE NOMINAL OR THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF SHARE CAPITAL WHICH A COMPANY HAS POWER TO ISSUE SHARES AS PAID UP SHARE CAPITAL. IF A COMPANY WANTS TO ISSUE SHARES UPTO TO A CERTAIN AMOUNT,IT SHOULD HAVE A MINIMUM OF THAT AMOUNT AS AHTHORISED SHARE CAPITAL. ROC FEES DEPENDS UPON THE AUTHORISED SHARE CAPITAL AND APPROX. THE ROC FEES IS RS. 50000/ FOR EVERY ONE CRORE OF AUTHORISED SHARE CAPITAL. SO THE MORE YOU DECIDE AS AUTH.SHARE CAPITAL, THE MORE ROC FEES YOU HAVE TO PAY,BESIDES THERE IS A STAMPDUTY COST OF 0.15% ON AUTH. SH.CAP. THE AUTH. SH.CAP. DEPENDS ON UP TO WHAT AMOUNT THE COMPANY WANTS TO ISSUE PAID UP CAPITAL. DEBENTURES IS DEBT CAPITAL .IT IS NOT OWNERS EQUITY. DEB. CARRY INTREREST AND EQUITY SHARES CARRY DIVDEND AS REWARD ( IF DECLARED). THE RATIO BETWEEN PAIDUP SHARE CAPITAL (PLUS FREE RESERVES )AND DEBT CAPITAL IS CALLED DEBT EQUITY RATIO. THIS RATIO IS USEFUL FOR ANY LENDER OR BANK TO DECIDE A COMPANY'S BORROWING CAPACITY AND PROFITABILITY AS INTEREST PAYABLE ON DEB. IS AN EXP. IN P&L ACCOUNT AND AN ADMISSIBLE DEDUCTION FOR TAX PURPOSE. ON THE OTHER HAND DIVIDEND PAYABLE ON EQUITY SHARES IS NOT AN EXP. IT IS AN APPROPRIATION OUT OF PROFITS. AUTH. SH. CAPITAL CONSISTS OF ONLY EQUITY SH. CAPITAL AND PREF. SH. CAP.ONLY. BUT IT DOES NOT CONSIST OF DEB.WHICH IS A LOAN OR DEBT CAPITAL. PL.SPELL OUT YOUR DOUBTS IF ANY . WE SHALL CLARIFY FURTHER. R.V.RAO
