An attempt has been made from my side to unlock the provisions of Companies Act, 2013 related to Increase in Authorize share Capital along with requisite secretarial practice w.r.t. to sample Board and Shareholders’ resolutions.

Under Companies Act, 2013, the process of Increase in Authorise Capital is governed by Section 61 read with section 13 and 64 of Companies Act, 2013. Procedure in this regard is given below:

Procedure for Increase in Authorize share Capital

1. Authorisation in Article is must for Increase: For Increase in Authorise Share Capital, the company has to make sure that its Articles of Association contain a provision authorising it to increase its authorized share capital. Reason being Section 61 of the Companies Act, 2013, mandates that for increasing the Authorised share capital, authorization in Articles of Association is a pre-condition.

In other words Company has to make sure that its Articles of Association contain a provision authorising it to increase its authorised share capital.

If there is no such provision then the company has to take steps for alteration of its Articles of Association in accordance with the provision of Section 14 of the Companies Act, 2013, so as to insert the clause enabling increase in the Authorised share capital of the Company.

2. Calling of Board Meeting: Issue notice in accordance with the provisions of section 173(3) of the Companies Act, 2013, for convening a meeting of the Board of Directors. Main agenda for this Board meeting would be:
