The new amount of capital must be equal to the existing amount of a company’s authorized share capital. The increase in authorized share capital is one way to make the company more profitable and increase its borrowing power. A company may issue new shares to existing promoters or new investors. The process for increasing authorized capital is relatively simple and can be completed quickly. In order to increase its Authorized Share Capital, a company must hold an EGM. This requires the present promoters and directors to vote for the amendment. An EGM must be held prior to the proposed amendments. The amended Articles of Association must also include provisions authorizing the increase in Authorized Share Capital. These changes will be reflected in the MoA. The increased capital can also accommodate additional investments. An increased authorised capital can be a good way to increase a company’s borrowing capacity.
