Change in Share Capital

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.

ANSWERS BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Your questions,
answered.

Need help with your specific situation?

Talk to our team
Does increasing authorised capital issue shares?

No. It changes the company's capacity; an actual issue or allotment is a separate corporate event.

What is SH-7 used for?

MCA's instruction kit identifies SH-7 as the notice of alteration in share capital under section 64 and the applicable rules.

References: MCA: SH-7 instruction kit

Is member approval required?

The correct approval depends on the alteration, articles and Companies Act route. Review the actual company records before acting.

Are government charges fixed nationwide?

No universal total is quoted here; capital, state, filing and current statutory schedules affect external charges.

Does the service include issuing shares to an investor?

Not unless the written engagement separately includes the issue, allotment, valuation, tax and ownership steps.

What records should be updated?

At minimum reconcile the constitutional capital clause, filing evidence and statutory records; the actual event may require more.
