Whilst the Capital of a firm may be of any amount, the paid up portion is that portion for which money has actually been paid. This may be any sum. Even the right to over-allocate shares is often reserved by the issuer.
A local insurance company here, whose shares were traded at a few pounds, was declared insolvent. A number of the investors were surprised to find out that the shares had only been paid up to 10% of their face value.
Not only were their shares worthless, they now owed money on them!
The paid up capital measures nothing than that simple number.
