Calls in Arrears is the amount called but not yet received. It is deducted from called-up/subscribed capital, thereby reducing paid-up capital (A), and where a separate account is maintained it carries a debit balance (B). It is neither a liability (C) nor shown on the asset side (D); it appears as a deduction in the Notes to Share Capital.
