AOA Amendment

AOA AMENDMENT SERVICES IN INDIA

An AOA Amendment refers to updating the Articles of Association, the document that defines a company’s internal rules, management structure, and governance framework. As per Section 14 of the Companies Act, 2013, companies must pass a special resolution and file the amendment with the Registrar of Companies (ROC). This ensures the company’s governing provisions remain aligned with evolving business needs and legal requirements.

The AOA Amendment process supports strategic decisions, governance improvements, and regulatory compliance.

Legal Framework for AOA Amendment

An AOA Amendment is governed by:

  • Section 14, Companies Act, 2013 – Alteration of Articles

  • Rule 33, Companies (Incorporation) Rules, 2014 – Filing procedures

  • MCA Forms such as MGT-7, MGT-7A, and SH-7

  • Section 114(2) – Special Resolution requirements

These provisions ensure that amendments are legally valid and transparently approved.

Common Reasons for AOA Amendments

Businesses often require an AOA Amendment for one or more of the following reasons:

  • Updating company name or business objectives

  • Changing share capital structure or shareholder rights

  • Revising voting rights, board powers, or quorum requirements

  • Incorporating new compliance provisions under amended laws

  • Adding clauses for dividends, share transfers, buybacks, or investor rights

Such updates help companies stay agile, legally compliant, and investor-ready.
