Why is Changing the MoA Mandatory?
Your Memorandum of Association (MoA) is your company's constitution. You cannot legally generate revenue from activities not explicitly permitted in it.
The 'Ultra Vires' Doctrine
Any act or contract entered into by the company that goes beyond the scope of its MoA object clause is "Ultra Vires" (beyond the powers). Such contracts are legally void, and directors can be held personally liable for them.
Bank Loans & Govt Tenders
Banks and NBFCs will reject loan applications if the purpose of the loan does not align with your MoA. Similarly, government tenders strictly verify your MoA to ensure you are legally authorized to provide the requested service.
Shareholder Approval (EGM)
The directors cannot change the company's objectives on their own. Under Section 13 of the Companies Act, 2013, it requires a 'Special Resolution'—meaning at least 75% of the shareholders must vote in favor of the change during an EGM.
The 30-Day MCA Deadline
Once the Special Resolution is passed in the EGM, you are legally mandated to file Form MGT-14 with the Registrar of Companies within exactly 30 days. Late filing attracts severe penalties.
The Legal Filing Process
We handle all the legal drafting and MCA portal submissions. You just e-sign the documents.
Step 1: Board Meeting & Notice
Our experts draft the initial resolution for a Board Meeting to seek approval for the new objectives and to schedule an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) for the shareholders.
Step 2: Passing EGM Resolution
The EGM is held, and a 'Special Resolution' is passed by the shareholders authorizing the alteration of the Object Clause in the Memorandum of Association (MoA).
Step 3: Filing Form MGT-14
Within 30 days of the EGM, we securely file Form MGT-14 with the Registrar of Companies (ROC), attaching the new drafted MoA and the certified resolutions.
Step 4: Approval & New MoA
Once the MCA verifies the documents, they officially register the alteration. You will receive the freshly updated MoA, and you can legally commence your new business activities.
Required Documents
Upload these to your secure client portal. Our Company Secretaries will prepare all the internal resolutions and MoA drafts for your signature.
Company Documents
A copy of the current Memorandum (MoA), Articles of Association (AoA), and Certificate of Incorporation (COI).
Digital Signature (DSC)

A clear description of the new products, services, or business line you intend to start.
Do you need to change the Company Name too?
If your new business activity is completely different from your old one (e.g., pivoting from "Tech Solutions" to "Food Delivery"), the MCA usually requires you to change the company name to reflect the new activity accurately to avoid misleading the public.
