Authorised capital is the ceiling on shares your company can issue. Funding rounds, bonus issues and ESOP pools all fail at the last step if the ceiling is too low, usually discovered at the worst possible moment.
Krishna TaxNova increases your authorised capital cleanly: capital clause amendment, shareholder approval and SH-7 filing with the correct fees and stamp duty, typically within a week.
What is Increase Authorised Share Capital?
Increasing authorised capital requires authority in the articles, a board meeting to convene shareholders, an ordinary resolution altering the capital clause of the MOA, and filing of SH-7 within thirty days with the prescribed fee and state stamp duty on the increased amount. Only after this can fresh shares be allotted up to the new limit.

Increase Authorised Share Capital: Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between authorised and paid up capital?
Authorised capital is the maximum you may issue; paid up is what shareholders have actually subscribed and paid. Paid up can never exceed authorised, which is why increases precede fundraises.
How much authorised capital should a startup keep?
Enough for the next round plus ESOPs, without overpaying fees and stamp duty on headroom you will not use soon. We model this against your funding plan.
Is shareholder approval always needed?
Yes, an ordinary resolution in a general meeting is required, and the articles must permit the increase. If they do not, an articles amendment is passed alongside.
Does increasing authorised capital dilute existing shareholders?
No. Dilution happens only when new shares are actually allotted. The increase itself just raises the ceiling.
