Change in Share Capital
As businesses expand, funding requirements change. To raise new equity, issue bonus shares, or restructure the capital base, a company must legally alter its share capital through proper compliance with the Companies Act, 2013. This process ensures transparency, protects shareholder interests, and keeps the company legally secure. Liquetax provides end-to-end assistance in share capital alteration filings with MCA.
