MOA Amendment
MOA Amendment
Changes to the Organization Memorandum may be made by special resolution at a shareholders’ meeting. The process of transforming a company MOA is a complex and comprehensive process, it is necessary to take professional care to be taken during the process.
Change of Name to MOA
Making changes to the company name will need to change the MOA by passing a special resolution. In the event of a change of name in the case of Private Limited Company or Public Limited Company, no approval is required from the central government. However, in some cases, the approval of a central government is required.
Also, in the event that a company is registered with a name that reflects the similarity or similarity of an existing company then the central government will intervene and request a change of name. But a general decision is sufficient in such cases.
Registration of registered office (Region to another)
The company is required to make changes to the Memorandum of Association in order to transfer the registered office to another country. Generally, the reasons for transferring a registrant to another region include:
- To run the business professionally and economically
- Achieving the company’s strategic objective in complex ways
- Developing jobs in the current environment
- Managing existing objectives
- Selling a business whole or in part.
- Associating a business with another person or business.
In the event that a registered office is transferred from one state to another, a special decision must be approved and approval from the Company Law Board must be obtained by the Company. These changes to the memorandum must be submitted to the regional registrar from which the company originates and to the district registrar from which the company wishes to move. After approval from the Registrar of Companies, changes must be made to the Company MOA to reflect the new status of the registered office.
Alteration of Objects Clause
Changes to the clause in the case of Private Limited Company can be made without any problems. But if the same thing happens to any company that collects money from the public a special decision must be passed. Also, this needs to be published in an English newspaper and another local language newspaper where the company’s registered office is located. Details should also be made available on the company’s website with the necessary reasons and corrections.
Also, all opposing shareholders should be permitted to opt-out by developers and controlling shareholders. This opportunity should also be given to the regulations imposed by the Securities Exchange Board of India (SEBI).
Debt Cause Changes
Changes to the clause must be made so that the obligation of the directors does not end. As shareholders’ debt cannot be determined and a decision must be made to make this change in debt by approving the decision.
A copy of the decision must be submitted to the secretary within 30 days of the change made.
Amendment of Article Clause
This change can also be made to a general meeting. Like stock divisions or consolidation of shares, these changes may be necessary. Other reasons for making changes to the capital clause could be a stock conversion and the liquidation of unregistered capital. These changes must be submitted to the registrar within 30 days.
Conversion of Authorized Currency
A company wishing to issue shares should check the authorized capital of the company. The Company is unable to issue shares in excess of the authorized amount. Therefore, the company may be required to increase the company’s principal authorized capital and make changes to the company’s MOA.
