MOA / AOA Amendment
A company's Memorandum (MOA) and Articles (AOA) are its charter — and changing them, whether to add business objects, alter share capital, change the name or update governance terms, follows a defined process under the Companies Act.
Most amendments require a special resolution of shareholders and a filing (often MGT-14), and some — like a name change or capital alteration — have additional steps and approvals.
Key features and requirements
- Adding or changing business objects (MOA)
- Alteration of authorised or paid-up share capital
- Change of company name
- Change of registered office (state to state, where via MOA)
- Amending governance terms in the AOA
- Special resolution and MGT-14 filing (as applicable)
