Increase Authorised & Paid up Capital

Each business needs more funds over time to run business. These funds can be required on a long- and short-term basis. A short-term need can be satisfied by taking loans and advances. But for the run, the company will require more funds. For a Private Limited Company, this can be done by increasing the authorized capital of the company. Since the private limited company is governed and regulated under the Company Act to make changes in the structure it is necessary to follow the Act and the rules stated.
While registering the Private Limited Company the authorized and paid-up capital is specified in the MOA of the company. The company can therefore issue new shares within the limit of the authorized capital mentioned in the MOA. If the company wishes to issue more shares than the limit that is specified then amendments need to be done in the MOA.
According to Section 2 (8) of the Companies Act, 2013 “Authorized Capital” is the capital that is authorized by the memorandum of the company to be the maximum amount of the share capital of the company.
The company can expand its business to the level of the authorized capital. In case the company has to expand the business infusing more funds than at first, the company has to increase the authorized capital by following the steps that are mentioned in this article.

A company may need to increase the authorized share capital before it is issuing new equity shares and increasing the paid-up capital. As authorized share capital is the total value of the shares a company can issue. The paid-up capital is the total value of the shares of the company that have been issued.
The Paid-up capital does not exceed the authorized capital. Hence, if the company has authorized capital of Rs.10 lakh and paid-up capital of Rs.10 lakhs would like to induct new shareholders then it can be done by:
  • Increasing the Authorized share capital and issuing new shares (or)
  • Transferring shares from the existing shareholders to the new shareholders.
In most cases after the new shares are issues the authorized capital increases. Connect with our advisors at Accounting Forte for assistance with increasing the authorized share capital.
