What is Watered Capital?

                                                           

It refers to that portion of the share capital of a joint-stock company. Which is not represented by any tangible or realizable assets; thus the amount paid for goodwill is known as watered capital. Watered capital is the value of the eroded capital on account of a company continuously incurring losses. 

The accumulated losses and other intangible assets are viewed as a percentage of the paid-up capital and watered capital is the residual part of the paid-up capital after accounting the number of losses.
