* Nominal capital- Authorised capital is the amount of share capital which a company is authorised to issue by its Memorandum of Association. The company cannot raise more than the amount of capital as specified in the Memorandum of Association. It is also called Nominal or Registered capital.

* Capital reserve-  A capital reserve is created from capital profit earned through sales of capital assets such as the sale of fixed assets, profit on the sale of shares. The special property of capital reserve is that these are permanently invested and cannot be used for any other purpose apart from which it is created.

* Called up Capital: It is that part of the subscribed capital which has been called up on the shares, i.e., what the company has asked the shareholders to pay. The company may decide to call the entire amount or part of the face value of the shares, For example, if the face value (also called nominal value) of a share allotted is Rs. 10 and the company has called up only Rs. 7 per share, in that scenario, the called up capital is Rs. 7 per share. The remaining Rs. 3 may be collected from its shareholders as and when needed.

* Reserve capital- A company may reserve a portion of its uncalled capital to be called only in the event of winding up of the company. Such uncalled amount is called ‘Reserve Capital’ of the company. It is available only for the creditors on the winding up of the company.
