Increase your Authorized Capital

Need to issue more shares for investment or growth? We amend your capital clause, pass the resolutions and file Form SH-7 with the MCA.

What it is

A company can only issue shares up to its authorized share capital. To raise more funds or bring in investors beyond that limit, you must increase the authorized capital by amending the MOA’s capital clause, passing the required resolutions, and filing Form SH-7 with the MCA (along with the applicable stamp duty and fees).
