MOA Amendment | N D Savla & Associates
MOA Amendment · Nashik, Maharashtra

MOA Amendment — Redrafted. Approved. Recorded.

Amendment of a company's Memorandum of Association — objects, name, registered office state, or capital clause — including shareholder approval and filing with the Registrar of Companies.

Book Free Consultation

The Memorandum of Association sets out a company's name, registered office state, objects and capital structure. Any change to these — adding a new business line, shifting the registered office to another state, or altering the authorised capital — requires a corresponding amendment to the MOA.

At N D Savla & Associates, we identify which clause of the MOA needs to change, draft the amended clause and the shareholder resolution, and file the amendment with the Registrar of Companies.

Where the amendment involves a change of objects, we also review whether it affects any existing registrations, licences or approvals tied to the company's stated objects.
