Subscribed vs paid up capital

NNoah5y ago
Sir a company’s issued and subscribed share capital is $75,000 whereas its paid up capital is $74,500. So why such a difference? I thought it was because some subscribers of equity shares hadn’t paid cash, but apparently the company states that there are no partly paid up shares.

I have no idea - the two should be the same. Obviously the authorised share capital may be higher, but that is a different issue. (Partly paid up shares are not examinable in Paper FA and have not been for a very long time.)
