In share capital balance sheet if there are arrears why do we first multiply the arrear shares into amt of share and then subtract the arrears multiplied with the amt that is not paid

Dear Student


As per the provisions of companies act, we have to follow the predefined format for preparation of books of accounts of the companies,
Therefore we prepare notes to accounts as per Schedule III.



Hence for the sake of presentation and statutory requirement, we write arrears separately.

It is so because the Companies Act requires the notes to accounts to fully disclose the share capital. As a result the subscribed but not fully paid up shares are shown seperatly from which then the calls in arrears are subtracted.
