Sometimes shareholders pay a part or the whole of the amount of the calls not yet made. The amount so received from the shareholders is known as “Calls in Advance”. The amount received in advance is a liability of the company and should be credited to ‘Call in Advance Account.” The amount received will be adjusted towards the payment of calls as and when they becomes due. Table F of the Companies Act provides for the payment of interest on calls in advance at a rate not exceeding 12% per annum.
