MOA Amendment Services
📌 What is MOA Amendment?
The Memorandum of Association (MOA) is the foundational document of a company that defines its objectives, scope of activities, authorized share capital, and the rights and responsibilities of shareholders. Any modification, update, or expansion of these provisions is referred to as an MOA amendment.
Under the Companies Act, 2013, MOA amendments are primarily governed by Sections 13 and 61, depending on the type of amendment. For instance:
- Section 13 governs changes in company name, objectives, and share capital clauses.
- Section 61 governs alteration of share capital, including increase, consolidation, or conversion of shares.
Amending the MOA ensures that a company’s operations are aligned with its current business strategy, comply with statutory obligations, and maintain transparent corporate governance for stakeholders.
