Paid-up capital is the money provided by the shareholders into the company since the establishment. It includes the initial fund accumulated from the shareholders plus additional capital injected through right/ bonus shares or FPO as the company moves forward. Higher the capital, the greater the financial strength of the company. In times of economic difficulty, companies with huge capital tend to survive than companies with low capital.
