Prepare the agreed decision records, altered MOA and SH-7 inputs.
Check filing status and updated capital records.
Section 64 requires the prescribed notice within 30 days of the alteration or increase, with the altered memorandum. Plan the meeting, signatures and SH-7 preparation together; portal queries or late preparation do not reset that statutory clock.

ANSWERS BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Need help with your specific situation?
Talk to our teamNo. It changes the nominal capital ceiling; it does not allot shares or receive investment. The subsequent issue, payment and allotment are separate steps.
For an eligible increase under section 61, the articles must authorise the change and the company acts in general meeting, normally by ordinary resolution. If the articles need amendment, that amendment follows its separate special-resolution route. Check any additional valid conditions.

SH-7 is the capital-alteration notice. Section 64 requires the prescribed notice within 30 days of the alteration or increase together with the altered memorandum. Identify the actual event date before preparing the filing.

Do not assume that every increase has the same linked filings. Check the actual resolutions, any articles amendment, company conditions and current SH-7 requirements. The capital notice and resolution-filing obligations are distinct.

Changing the authorised ceiling alone does not change the issued shares or ownership percentages. Any later issue can affect ownership and must be assessed separately.
Keep the valid decision records, altered memorandum, submitted notice, acknowledgement and actual processing/capital-record outcome. Do not treat a proposed figure or a payment receipt alone as the whole evidence pack.

| Question | What matters | Next step |
|---|---|---|
| Capacity needed | Compare current authorised, issued and paid-up capital with the proposed issue. | Choose a supported ceiling and share structure; a larger authorised figure is not proof of funding. |
| Article permission | Check whether the articles authorise the increase. | If an articles amendment is needed, handle its separate approval and filing requirements. |
| Member decision | Use the section 61 general-meeting route for the eligible increase. | An ordinary resolution is normally used for the increase itself, subject to applicable articles/conditions; do not confuse it with a special resolution to amend articles. |
| Notice and next event | Plan SH-7 and the altered memorandum before proceeding with the issue. | Allotment, consideration and shareholder rights need their own compliance work. |
