What is Authorized Capital in a Private Limited Company?

A Private Limited Company after its incorporation decides the amount of authorized capital for the company and the value of shares that they will receive in return for their investment in the company. It is the maximum value of shares that a company can allot to its shareholders. The Authorized Capital is different from the Paid-Up Capital, and the authorized capital will always be more than the paid-up capital.
