The maximum number of shares that a private corporation may issue depends on its authorised capital. The majority of start-ups start with the minimal permitted capital of Rs. 1 lakh, which is inadequate as the organization expands. The capital clause of the Memorandum of Association is updated by the board issuing a special resolution in order to issue additional shares or increase the Authorised Capital.
Authorized capital is the maximum amount of share capital that a company is authorized to issue to shareholders as per its Memorandum of Association. Increasing authorized capital allows a company to raise additional funds by issuing more shares without changing the existing shareholders' rights.
Any company looking to expand its share capital, attract investors, or raise additional funds needs to increase its authorized capital.
Increasing authorized capital provides several advantages for companies and shareholders.
The following documents are required to increase authorized capital:
