The MOA and AOA are your company’s constitution, and businesses regularly outgrow them: new lines of activity beyond the object clause, articles that block a funding round’s terms, or clauses inherited from a template that no longer fit.
Krishna TaxNova drafts the amendments, passes them through the proper special resolutions and files MGT-14, so your charter matches what the business actually does and what your investors require.
What is MOA and AOA Amendment?
MOA amendments cover the name, registered office state, objects, liability and capital clauses; AOA amendments reshape internal rules such as share transfer restrictions, board powers and investor rights. Both need special resolutions filed in MGT-14 within thirty days, with additional approvals for specific changes such as state shifts. Acting beyond an unamended object clause makes transactions ultra vires.
Who Should Apply for MOA and AOA Amendment?
- Companies entering new business activities beyond current objects
- Startups adopting investor friendly articles before a funding round
- Companies converting between private and public forms
- Businesses cleaning up outdated template charters

MOA and AOA Amendment: Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if we operate outside our object clause?
Such acts are ultra vires, beyond the company's legal capacity, creating risk in contracts, banking and tax. Amending objects before starting a new line is quick insurance.
Can the AOA override the Companies Act?
No. Articles operate within the Act; conflicting clauses are void. Our drafting keeps investor terms enforceable within what the law permits.
Do investors really check the AOA?
Always. Diligence compares the SHA with the articles, and unmirrored rights are treated as unenforceable. Adopting restated articles at closing is standard, and we prepare them.
Is shareholder approval needed for every amendment?
Charter amendments need special resolutions, seventy five percent of votes. Board approval alone is never sufficient for MOA or AOA changes.

In most cases the work is completed in 1 to 2 weeks for standard amendments. The exact time depends on how quickly documents are shared and on processing time at the department. We keep you updated at every stage.
