Authorized Capital Increase raise your ceiling, filed right.

End-to-end authorized share capital increase services in Mumbai and across India — board and shareholder approval, MOA capital clause amendment, Form SH-7 filing, and stamp duty computation for private limited companies.

Authorized capital is the maximum value of shares a company is permitted to issue to its shareholders, as stated in the capital clause of its Memorandum of Association. A company cannot issue paid-up capital beyond this ceiling. When a company plans to bring in fresh investment, allot new shares, or convert loans into equity, it must first ensure its authorized capital is large enough — and increase it if it is not.

Increasing authorized capital is governed by Section 61 of the Companies Act, 2013, read with Section 13 for the MOA amendment. The process requires authorisation in the Articles of Association, a board resolution, an ordinary resolution passed by shareholders, an amendment to the capital clause of the MOA, and the filing of Form SH-7 with the Registrar of Companies along with the applicable stamp duty and government fees.

Our authorized capital increase practice manages the full sequence — checking the Articles for enabling power, drafting board and shareholder resolutions, amending the MOA capital clause, computing the correct fees and state-wise stamp duty, and filing Form SH-7. We ensure the increase is recorded cleanly so the company is ready for its next round of share allotment or fundraising.
