Know about an increase in Authorised Share Capital

Share capital represents the portion of a company’s capital raised through the issuance of shares. A company can issue shares only up to the limit of its authorized capital, as specified in the Capital Clause of its Memorandum of Association (MoA).

To increase its capital-raising capacity, a company must first increase its authorized capital. This can be done at any time after incorporation by paying the required stamp duty and additional fees. The process involves conducting Board and Shareholders’ meetings to approve the change, followed by filing an application with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) to amend the Capital Clause accordingly.

Benefits of increasing authorised capital

Allow further issue of capital

As mentioned, a company cannot raise capital beyond the limit specified in its MoA. Therefore, if there is a need to increase the paid-up capital, the authorized capital must be increased first.

Increase in borrowing capacity

An increase in internal funding capacity enhances the company’s ability to borrow. The higher the capital, the greater the net worth—resulting in improved borrowing capacity.
