Alteration in MOA/AOA?
Get expert help for legal updates to your company’s structure.

Memorandum of Association (MOA) and Articles of Association (AOA) amendment is the official procedure to alter a company’s constitutional documents. It is used to align a company’s legal framework with its shifting objectives, working modifications, or under the Companies Act, 2013.

MOA states the business and objective of the company, while AOA states internal bylaws, duties, and rights between the director and shareholders. The Alteration is requested whenever there is any change in:

  • Business objectives or mode of operations
  • Company name or registered office
  • Share capital structure
  • Regulations relating to board meetings or voting rights

Without legally approved change, any change in operations or architecture would be null and void. It is thus important to be up to date and renew in due time.

Change of MOA and AOA is also very important when the company is experiencing company changes like mergers, acquisitions, expansion, or going public. These changes impact various stakeholders and need to be clearly explained in the company’s legal documents.

    FAQs

    Charges vary depending on the type of change and where the company is located. Legal Dalal provides fixed charges.
    Yes, the amendments to AOA or MOA need to be filed with and sanctioned by the Registrar of Companies (ROC) in order to take effect under law.
    Once all documents are filed in the right sequence, 7–15 working days is taken for ROC approval. Yes. Where the changes are connected to each other (i.e., from a private to a public company), it is practical and prudent to make the changes to both documents simultaneously.
    Using old MOA or AOA can result in severe legal repercussions. Business resolutions taken on old documents may be considered null and void, and the firm may be penalized and interrogated by the regulators.
    While technically possible, MOA/AOA alteration involves legal drafting, board resolutions, special resolutions, and ROC compliance. Errors can lead to rejection or penalties. It’s always safer and faster to do it through a professional service like Legal Dalal.
