About This Estimator:

Increasing the authorised share capital of a company is a common requirement during fundraising, restructuring, onboarding investors, issue of new shares, or expanding the equity base. However, many businesses face confusion regarding the actual cost involved in filing Form SH-7 with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA).
