Legal Provisions Governing Authorised Share Capital Increase
The increase of authorised share capital is governed by the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013, particularly Section 61 and Section 64. Section 61 empowers a company limited by shares to alter its share capital, including increasing the authorised share capital, provided such alteration is permitted by the company’s Articles of Association and approved by shareholders through the prescribed process. Once the company decides to increase its authorised capital, it must notify the Registrar of Companies about the alteration.
Under Section 64 of the Companies Act, 2013, the company is required to file Form SH-7 with the Registrar of Companies within the prescribed time period after passing the necessary resolution. This filing formally records the alteration of authorised share capital in the MCA records. The applicable filing fees are determined according to the Companies (Registration Offices and Fees) Rules, 2014, which prescribe the MCA fee slabs for changes in authorised capital. In addition to the MCA filing fee, companies must also pay state-specific stamp duty for alteration of the Memorandum of Association, as stamp duty laws are governed by the respective state legislation.
