What is paid-up capital?
Paid-up capital is the money shareholders have actually paid for their shares — it goes into the company's bank account and becomes working funds. The Companies Act 2016 abolished the old 'authorised capital' concept and par values: there's no ceiling to declare, just the real amount subscribed, from RM1 upward.
