About Increase Authorised Capital
Authorised capital is the maximum share capital the company can issue, set in the MoA at incorporation. To allot fresh shares beyond this ceiling, the authorised capital must be increased — through a board resolution, a shareholder resolution, payment of stamp duty, and Form SH-7 filing with the ROC.
Our service handles the resolution drafting, EGM coordination (if needed), MoA amendment, stamp-duty payment, and SH-7 filing — typically completed in 10–15 working days.
Key Features
Resolution Drafting — Board and shareholder (ordinary or special) resolutions prepared correctly.
MoA Amendment — Capital clause of the Memorandum of Association updated to reflect new ceiling.
Stamp Duty — Computed and paid based on state-specific stamp duty schedule.
SH-7 Filing — Form SH-7 filed with ROC alongside revised MoA.
