About Increase in Authorised Share Capital (SH-7)
A clear overview, in simple terms — what it is, why it matters, and how we handle it.
Authorised capital is the ceiling up to which a company can issue shares. To raise it, the company passes an ordinary resolution in a general meeting (as authorised by its articles), alters the capital clause of the MOA and files Form SH-7 with the ROC within 30 days, paying the registration fee and the state's stamp duty on the increase.
If an investment round or bonus issue would take paid-up capital above the authorised limit, the authorised capital must be increased first — shares issued beyond it are invalid.
The ROC fee depends on the amount of increase, and stamp duty depends on the state where the registered office is located, so the cost of a large increase is worth estimating before fixing the new limit.
We draft the resolution, the amended MOA and the SH-7, and update the company's records.
| Approval | Ordinary resolution in general meeting (Section 61), if articles authorise |
|---|---|
| Filing | Form SH-7 within 30 days |
| Cost | ROC fee on the increase + state stamp duty |
| Documents changed | Capital clause of the MOA |
