MOA Amendment update your charter, the right way.
End-to-end Memorandum of Association amendment services in Mumbai and across India — changes to the name, object, registered office, capital, and liability clauses with shareholder approval and full ROC filing.
The Memorandum of Association is the charter document of a company — it defines the company's name, the state of its registered office, its objects, the liability of members, and its authorised capital. Any change to the company's fundamental structure therefore requires a formal amendment to the MOA under Section 13 of the Companies Act, 2013.
MOA amendments are needed in many situations — a change of company name, a shift of registered office to another state, an expansion or change of business objects, an increase in authorised capital, or a change in the liability clause. Each clause has its own approval requirement, but in almost every case a special resolution passed by the shareholders is mandatory, and some changes also need approval from the Regional Director or Central Government.
Our MOA amendment practice handles every clause — name, object, situation, capital, and liability. We draft the board and shareholder resolutions, file Form MGT-14 with the special resolution, prepare the altered Memorandum, and complete any additional applications such as Form INC-24 for a name change or Form INC-23 for an inter-state office shift. The result is a correctly amended charter document accepted by the Registrar.
