Issue of Shares At Par: Accounting Entries
A unit of capital or an equal portion of the share capital of an organization divided, whose ownership is evidenced by a share certificate is known as a Share. Simply put, shares are the denominations of the share capital of an organization. For example, if the total capital of ABC Ltd. is ₹10,00,000 and is divided into 10,000 units of ₹100 each. Each unit of ₹100 will be called a share. To easily identify the shares, it is essential to give them numbers. The share of a company is moveable in nature and can be moved through the process stated by the Articles of Association of the Company.
According to Indian Companies Act, 2013, “Shares means shares in share capital of the company and includes stock except where the distinction between stock and share is expressed or implied.”
Issue of Shares at Par:
Issue of Shares at Par means to issue the shares for an amount equal to the face value of shares. For example, if the face value of shares is ₹20 each and they are issued at ₹20 each, then it will be Issue of Shares at Par.

Suppose if a company issue 1,00,000 shares and gets applications for 1,00,000 shares then it will be a full subscription. Besides, there is no special treatment for the full subscription of shares.
