Change in MOA & AOA

Change in MOA & AOA – Company in India

Introduction

The Memorandum of Association (MOA) and Articles of Association (AOA) are the two most important constitutional documents of a company.

• MOA defines the company’s objectives, powers, and scope of activities.

• AOA sets out the internal rules, regulations, and management framework.

If your business plans to expand, change its objectives, increase capital, or update internal rules, it is mandatory to alter the MOA and/or AOA by following the legal process under the Companies Act, 2013.

We provide end-to-end assistance for drafting, passing resolutions, and filing MCA forms to ensure smooth compliance.
