Change Company Object — MOA Alteration & MGT-14 ROC Filing | Beyonte Compliances
Company Law · MOA Alteration

Change Company Object alter your company's objects clause with full statutory compliance.

A company's objects are defined in the Memorandum of Association — the foundational constitutional document of the company. Any business activity outside the objects clause is ultra vires and unenforceable. When a company intends to add a new line of business, expand its scope, or remove outdated objects, it must amend the objects clause of the MOA under Section 13 of the Companies Act, 2013.

An alteration of the objects clause requires a special resolution at a general meeting and filing of MGT-14 with the ROC within 30 days. If the company has raised funds from the public through a prospectus and those funds have not been fully utilised, additional requirements — including a newspaper notice and approval of dissenting shareholders — apply.

At Beyonte Compliances, we manage the complete process — from drafting the amended objects, preparing board and shareholder resolutions, facilitating the EGM, and filing MGT-14 with the ROC. We also update the physical MOA and ensure all related registrations are aligned with the amended objects.
