Increase of Authorized Capital of Company

Over a period of time, a company may need to expand its business and, therefore, require more funds. These funds can be infused by issuing shares, debentures, obtaining loans, and finance from banks, etc. While loans and debentures have to be repaid after a certain period of time, the company raises capital by way of equity or preference shares with the help of shareholders (owners).

The maximum number of shares a company can issue to its shareholders is determined by the authorized capital of the company. The company may need to increase its authorized capital for issuing new shares or inducting more capital into the Company. The Memorandum of Association (MOA) of the Company mentions the initial authorized capital, usually kept as Rs. 1 lakh, under the Capital Clause.

At any point in time, the company can increase its authorized capital with the shareholder’s approval and by paying the required stamp duty to the Registrar of Companies (ROC). However, the company should first check its Articles of Association (AOA) for provisions relating to increasing its authorized share capital.
