A Quick glance of Capital Alterations

Increase or decrease of authorized share capital of a company is known as alteration of share capital. The Companies Act, 2013, provides the power to alter the share capital of the company. Any modes of alteration of share capital must be authorised by the article of the company. In the absence of an express provision in the article, no alteration of the capital can be done. Therefore, before commencing upon the passing of a resolution to change the share capital of the company, it has to be ensured that there is an express provision in the articles authorizing the company to alter its share capital.


Any resolution passed at the general meeting approving the alteration of the share capital of the company must be filed with the Registrar of Companies within 30 days from the date of passing such resolution.
