Increase your company's authorized share capital to accommodate new investments, issue fresh shares, or meet regulatory requirements. We handle board resolutions, shareholder approval, and all MCA filings including SH-7 and MGT-14.
Every company has an Authorized Share Capital — the maximum amount of share capital it is permitted to issue as stated in its Memorandum of Association. The Paid-up Capital is the actual amount received from shareholders for shares issued so far.
When a company wants to issue new shares beyond its current authorized limit, it must first increase the authorized capital by amending the MOA and filing Form SH-7 with the MCA. This is governed by Section 61 of the Companies Act, 2013.
A board meeting is convened and a resolution is passed recommending the increase in authorized capital and calling for a general meeting of shareholders.
An Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) is held. Shareholders pass an ordinary resolution (or special resolution if the Articles require it) approving the increase in authorized capital.
The capital clause of the Memorandum of Association is amended to reflect the new authorized capital amount and the revised share structure.
Form SH-7 (notice of alteration of share capital) and Form MGT-14 (filing of resolutions) are filed on the MCA portal within 30 days of the resolution. Stamp duty is paid at this stage.
The altered MOA with the new capital clause is filed with the ROC. The MCA updates the company's master data to reflect the increased authorized capital.
Stamp duty is payable on the increase in authorized capital. The rate varies by state — typically 0.1% to 0.15% of the increased amount. For example, increasing capital by ₹10 lakhs may attract stamp duty of ₹1,000–₹1,500 depending on the state. We calculate and advise on the exact stamp duty applicable to your company.
