A change in authorised share capital requires a corporate decision supported by the company's articles and the applicable Companies Act process. SH-7 is used for the notice of alteration in share capital. Increasing authorised capital is not the same as issuing or allotting shares, changing ownership, receiving funds or completing securities and tax work.

Question
What matters
Next step
Type of capital event
Separate authorised-capital alteration from issue, allotment, transfer, buy-back or reduction.
Each event has a different approval and filing path.
Articles
Check whether the articles authorise the proposed alteration.
A constitutional change may be needed before or with the capital action.
Approval and amount
Record the present and proposed capital structure and valid company approvals.
The resolution and form must reconcile exactly.
What follows
An authorised-capital increase only creates capacity; it does not allot shares.
Plan any subsequent issue and beneficial-ownership work separately.
Fee details, estimates & quote variables
₹5,000. Professional fee. Applicable GST, government charges and agreed third-party costs are extra.
One specified service engagement. Confirm the applicant, deliverables and exclusions in writing before work starts.
MCA fees and applicable stamp duty depend on the company, capital figures, state and current schedule. The written quote must separate professional work and GST from statutory charges; later allotment or transaction work is separate.

Articles and approval readiness
State and statutory-charge calculation
Linked allotment, valuation, FEMA or corrective work
MCA's SH-7 instructions describe a filing deadline linked to the alteration. Confirm the live form, applicable deadline and payment calculation for the actual resolution rather than relying on a generic estimate.
