Options:

Yes

No

Open at the option of shareholders

Differ according to company

Correct Answer:

No

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 2- No.

No, a separate capital account is not opened for each shareholder by the company.

Since the number of shareholders is very very large, a separate capital account cannot be opened for each one of them. Hence, innumerable streams of capital contribution merge their identities in a common capital account called as ‘Share Capital Account’.
