Understanding Authorised Capital
Process to Increase Authorised Capital

- Use the integrated e-MOA module for MOA amendment
This process ensures accuracy, faster approval, and a streamlined compliance experience.
Prerequisites Before Increasing Authorised Capital

Step 3: Hold EGM
Send 21-day notice (or 14 days with 95% consent) and pass an Ordinary Resolution. Include detailed explanatory statements.
Step 4: Prepare MOA for e-MOA Filing
Enter the complete MOA digitally in Form SH-7’s e-MOA module. Update Clause V to reflect the new capital structure.
Step 5: Form SH-7 Filing
Submit the form online with updated MOA, resolutions, and supporting documents.
Step 6: Sign PDFs
Download Form SH-7 and e-MOA PDFs. Sign each document digitally using DSC.
