Memorandum of Association Amendment Support
A proposed change to the company memorandum needs a route that fits the clause being altered. TaxQue helps review the current MOA, business purpose and proposed wording and prepare the approvals and filings included in the engagement. Share the exact clause and intended change.
An objects change, name change, capital change or state transfer may involve different requirements and approvals. Confirm drafting, resolutions, filings and authority follow-up separately. An MOA amendment does not automatically grant a sector licence or complete every related company-record update.
What is MOA Amendment?
Identify the clause being changed: Review the existing memorandum and the precise business purpose of the amendment.
Prepare the relevant approvals: Use the resolutions, notices and authority process appropriate to the particular alteration.
Track consequential updates: Check whether other records, licences or company particulars must be updated after the amendment.
Check the current official requirement
Forms, fees, due dates and eligibility can change and may differ by entity, state, activity or tax year. We confirm the relevant official instructions and the applicant’s facts before filing. Government fees, taxes, stamp duty, third-party charges and professional fees are identified separately in the engagement.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers about MOA 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.
