Articles of Association Amendment Support
Update company governance provisions with an articles amendment tailored to the proposed change. TaxQue helps review the existing AOA, related agreements and desired wording and prepare the company approvals and filing work included in your quote. Explain the practical change you want before starting.
Voting, transfer, management and investor-rights provisions need to fit the Companies Act and company structure. Confirm drafting, resolutions and filing coverage; a filed amendment does not automatically settle an existing dispute or make every proposed restriction valid. Related agreement and ownership changes may require separate work.
What is AOA Amendment?
Review the current governance documents: Check the articles and relevant company or shareholder arrangements before drafting.
Prepare a lawful amendment process: Review the proposed clauses and organise the appropriate notice, approval and filing requirements.
Align related company records: Check whether agreements, registers or other filings also need updating after the articles change.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers about AOA Amendment
The Memorandum of Association (MOA) and Articles of Association (AOA) are the core constitutional charters of a company. A company alters its MOA/AOA under Section 13 and 14 of the Companies Act, 2013, to change its business objects (e.g. entering new commercial industries like tech or healthcare), change company name, increase capital, or update internal governance and investor rights.
The procedure involves: (1) Board Meeting to approve proposed object changes and issue EGM notice, (2) Passing a Special Resolution (75% shareholder majority) in an EGM, (3) Drafting the revised MOA Clause III (Main Objects & Incidental Objects), and (4) Filing Form MGT-14 with the ROC within 30 days along with certified resolutions.
Under Section 117(1), Form MGT-14 must be filed with the Registrar of Companies (ROC) within 30 days from the date of passing the Special Resolution. Delaying beyond 30 days incurs statutory penalties on the company and defaulting officers under Section 117(2). TaxQue files MGT-14 within 48 to 72 hours.
Your charter amendments are drafted by a Senior Company Secretary and Corporate Legal Advocate. We ensure the new object clauses are broad, legally compliant, and structured to support commercial scaling, licenses, and bank credit facilities.
You need: (1) Certified True Copy of Special Resolution with Explanatory Statement under Section 102, (2) Notice of EGM, (3) Altered copy of the Memorandum of Association (MOA) or Articles of Association (AOA), and (4) Class 3 DSC of an authorized director.
