The memorandum of association sets out your company's name, registered state, objects, liability and capital. As your business grows or changes direction, these clauses may no longer reflect what you actually do. The most common reason to amend the MOA is to add or change business objects, but other clauses can also be altered. Most changes need a special resolution of the shareholders, filed with the ROC in Form MGT-14.
Vibence helps you amend the MOA correctly the first time. An assigned professional from the Vibence partner network discusses the change with you, drafts the revised clauses and resolutions, and manages the filing. Some amendments, such as a change of name or state, involve extra approvals, and we explain those clearly. Section 8 companies may also need prior approval from the authorities before the change takes effect.

Amendment of Memorandum of Association: FAQs
Which clauses of the MOA can be amended?
A company can amend its name, registered office state, objects, liability and capital clauses, subject to the procedure set for each. Changes to objects generally need a special resolution filed in Form MGT-14. A change of name or state needs further approval, and capital changes follow their own route with Form SH-7.
What is the time limit for filing MGT-14?
Form MGT-14 should generally be filed within 30 days of passing the special resolution. A late filing attracts an additional fee that increases with the delay. Planning the meeting and the filing together makes it easier to meet the deadline and keeps the company's public record current.
Why do companies change their objects clause?
Companies add or change objects when they move into new products or services, apply for licences that need matching objects, or want their banking and tax records to reflect their real activities. An objects clause that does not cover what you do can cause problems with lenders, regulators and contracts.
Is the process different for a Section 8 company?
Yes. A Section 8 company exists for charitable or similar purposes, and its licence is tied to those objects. Amending the MOA of a Section 8 company generally requires prior approval from the Central Government, exercised through the Regional Director, in addition to the special resolution. This adds time to the process.
What does the plan price include?
The plan covers consultation on the amendment, an assigned CA or CS professional, drafting of documents, the special resolution and MGT-14 filing, and support by call, chat and email. Government fees, GST and any fees for extra approvals, such as those needed for Section 8 companies, are charged separately.
