What is Alteration in MOA/AOA of a Company?

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.
