A company's authorised share capital is the maximum share capital it is authorised to issue under its constitutional documents. If the company needs to issue shares beyond its existing authorised capital, it may first need to increase the authorised share capital and alter the relevant capital clause of its Memorandum of Association. CorporateWalla assists with authorised-capital increase planning, board/shareholder documentation, MOA alteration and MCA filing, subject to the company's Articles, existing capital structure and proposed transaction.
Important: Increasing authorised capital does not itself issue new shares or increase the company's paid-up capital. Paid-up capital increases only when shares are actually issued/allotted; see Share Issue.
MCA filing fees and applicable stamp duty can depend on:
Professional fees are shown separately from government fees/stamp duty.
Suppose a company has:
The company plans to issue shares requiring authorised capital of ₹25 lakh.
It may need to:
The exact sequence depends on the proposed issue and applicable law.
The resolution and statutory filing must both be completed.
The two are different.
The capital structure should be checked before allotment.
The Articles may need to authorise the increase.
State-specific stamp duty can materially affect the total cost.
SH-7 relates to the authorised-capital change; the subsequent allotment can require separate filings.
The required resolution should be determined from Section 61, Articles and the company's facts.

Government fee — paid by you at actuals
MCA filing fees and applicable stamp duty are separate from the professional fee. They can depend on the amount of authorised capital, State, company type, applicable fee schedule, previous authorised capital and nature of filing, so there is no universal government fee for every company.
Every price above is a professional fee, excluding GST and government charges. 50% upfront, 50% on delivery.
Professional fee. The final scope depends on the amount of capital increase, company type, State/stamp-duty implications, MOA/AOA alteration, shareholder meeting, MCA filing, resubmission and any linked share issue, foreign-investment or valuation work.
Check authorised, issued, subscribed and paid-up capital, face value per share, the existing MOA capital clause and the Articles of Association.
Calculate the authorised capital required for the proposed transaction, avoiding an unnecessary increase because government fees/stamp duty can depend on the authorised capital and applicable State rules.
Hold the required board meeting and approve the proposed increase, draft shareholder resolution, alteration of the MOA capital clause and general meeting notice, where required.
Pass the required shareholder resolution, generally an ordinary resolution for increase of authorised share capital under Section 61, subject to the company's circumstances and Articles; if the Articles need alteration, follow that procedure too.
Update the authorised-capital clause of the Memorandum of Association.
File the applicable MCA form, generally SH-7, within the statutory timeline after the resolution, subject to the current MCA form and filing requirements.
Update the MOA, share capital records, statutory registers, corporate records, financial records and other relevant disclosures.
Tell us your requirement, a CA will call you in 30 minutes.
The existing capital structure and proposed transaction are reviewed to calculate the increase actually required, since fees and stamp duty can depend on the amount.
Board resolution, general meeting notice and the shareholder resolution under Section 61, checked against the company's Articles.
The capital clause of the Memorandum of Association is updated to reflect the revised authorised capital.
SH-7 filing and updates to share capital records and statutory registers, with any linked share allotment handled as a separate transaction where included.
