Increase Authorised Share Capital Online – Expert Filing with Mequintrax

Looking to expand your business and raise additional funding? Increasing your company's authorised share capital is the first step. At Mequintrax, we provide seamless, end-to-end assistance for authorised capital increase filing in compliance with the Companies Act, 2013. Fast processing, transparent pricing, and expert ROC support — all in one place.

What is Authorised Capital?

Authorised Capital, also known as Nominal Capital, is the maximum amount of share capital a company is legally allowed to issue to its shareholders. It is defined in the company's Memorandum of Association (MOA).

Before issuing new shares or raising capital from investors, a company must ensure its authorised capital is sufficient. If not, an increase is mandatory through a proper legal process with the Registrar of Companies (ROC).

Why You Should Increase Authorised Share Capital

  • Increasing the authorised share capital is essential for:


    • Raising investor funding
    • Issuing bonus shares to existing shareholders
    • Bringing in new partners or directors
    • Meeting working capital requirements
    • Expanding operations or infrastructure
    Without increasing the authorised limit, a company cannot issue additional shares—even if there's investor interest.

Process to Increase Authorised Capital in India

  • At Mequintrax, we follow a 100% compliant and streamlined process to ensure timely approvals:


    Step 1: Review Company Documents


    • Our experts review your MOA, AOA, and company resolutions to verify current capital limits and provisions.


    Step 2: Hold Board Meeting


    • A board meeting is convened to approve the increase in authorised capital and fix a date for an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM).


    Step 3: Pass Shareholder Resolution


    • At the EGM, shareholders pass a special resolution approving the change.


    Step 4: File ROC Forms

    • We prepare and file the necessary forms with the ROC — primarily Form SH-7 and altered MOA/AOA.


    Step 5: Get ROC Approval

    • Once the ROC verifies and approves, your authorised capital increase is legally recorded and updated.

    Documents Required for Authorised Capital Increase

    To proceed with the filing, the following documents are typically required:


    • Copy of MOA and AOA
    • Board Resolution & EGM Resolution
    • Notice of EGM with explanatory statement
    • Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) of Directors
    • Modified MOA & AOA reflecting the revised capital
    • Form MGT-14 & Form SH-7 for ROC filing

    When Should You Increase Authorised Capital?

    • Before raising funds through equity investment
    • Prior to allotment of shares to new stakeholders
    • When issuing employee stock options (ESOPs)
    • Before internal share redistribution or rights issues

Legal Provisions – Companies Act, 2013

  • The procedure for increasing authorised capital is governed by:


    • Section 61 of the Companies Act, 2013
    • Section 13 for alteration of MOA
    • Section 14 for alteration of AOA
    • Rule 15 of the Companies (Share Capital and Debentures) Rules, 2014

Step-by-Step Procedure to Increase Authorized Share Capital in India

  • Here’s how Mequintrax handles the procedure smoothly and compliantly:


    Step 1: Review Articles of Association (AOA)

    • Before proceeding, we review your AOA to check if it allows increasing the authorized capital.
    • If not, we’ll help you amend the AOA first through a special resolution.

    Step 2: Board Meeting

    A Board Meeting is convened with prior notice to:


    • Approve the proposal for increasing the authorized capital
    • Set a date, time, and venue for the Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM)
    • Approve the draft notice for the EGM


    Mequintrax drafts the board resolution and EGM notice for you.


    Step 3: Send Notice of EGM to Shareholders

    • A notice (with an explanatory statement under Section 102) is sent to all shareholders at least 21 clear days before the meeting.

    Step 4: Hold Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM)

    • At the EGM, shareholders must pass a special resolution to approve the capital increase and amendment to the MOA. 
    • 75% majority vote is required for the special resolution.

    Step 5: File ROC Forms – SH-7 & MGT-14

    Post-EGM, the following forms must be filed with the ROC:


    • Form MGT-14: For filing the special resolution (within 30 days)
    • Form SH-7: For applying to increase the authorized share capital (also within 30 days)


    Documents attached:


    • Board Resolution
    • Special Resolution
    • Amended MOA & AOA
    • Notice & explanatory statement
    • Digital signature (DSC) of a director

    Step 6: Pay Stamp Duty

    • Applicable stamp duty must be paid based on the state in which the company is registered and the amount of increase.
    • This is a mandatory compliance.

    Step 7: ROC Approval

    • After verifying your documents, the ROC will approve and update your company’s authorized share capital in the MCA records.
