Overview
What is Authorized Capital Increase?
Authorised capital is the maximum share capital a company can issue, as set in its MOA. To allot shares beyond that ceiling — for a funding round, ESOP pool or new allotment — you first have to increase the authorised capital.
The process: check the articles permit it, pass the required resolution (ordinary, generally), alter the MOA capital clause, and file form SH-7 with the ROC. Government fees and stamp duty scale with the size of the increase.
We handle the resolutions, the MOA change and the SH-7 filing so you're ready to issue shares.

FAQs
Authorized Capital Increase — frequently asked questions
What is authorised capital?
The maximum share capital a company can issue, set in its MOA. To allot shares beyond it, you must first increase the authorised capital.
How do I increase authorised capital?
Confirm the articles permit it, pass the required resolution, alter the MOA capital clause, and file form SH-7 with the ROC and the applicable fee and stamp duty.
When do I need to increase it?
Before allotting shares beyond your current ceiling — for a funding round, ESOP pool or new investor.
What is SH-7?
The MCA form through which an increase in authorised capital (and the consequent MOA change) is notified to the ROC.
How much does it cost?
The professional fee plus an MCA fee and stamp duty that scale with the size of the increase. We quote the components separately.
What if my articles don't allow it?
You'd first amend the articles (AOA) to permit the increase, then proceed. We handle both.
How long does it take?
Typically a few working days once approvals are in place.
Can I allot shares right after?
Yes. Once the authorised capital is increased, you can allot shares (with PAS-3 and related filings), which we can also handle.
What do I receive?
The resolutions, the altered MOA, and the filed SH-7 with its SRN reflecting the new authorised capital.
