What is Authorized Share Capital?
Authorized share capital (also called nominal or registered capital) is the maximum amount of share capital that a company is legally authorised to issue to shareholders, as stated in the Memorandum of Association (MOA) — specifically in the Capital Clause. The paid-up capital (actually issued and paid for) cannot exceed the authorized capital at any point. Before issuing new shares — whether in a funding round, ESOP pool creation, rights issue, or bonus issue — the company must ensure its authorized capital is sufficient. Increasing authorized capital requires amending the Capital Clause of the MOA by passing an ordinary resolution (simple majority) at a general meeting, filing Form SH-7 with the ROC, and paying stamp duty on the increased amount. Authorized capital is also used to determine ROC registration fees for new companies.

Why Golden Verdict For
Increase in Authorized Share Capital?
Companies frequently discover during a funding round that their authorized capital is insufficient to accommodate new share allotments — causing delays in closing the round. Golden Verdict plans the authorized capital increase in advance — computing the exact amount needed for the proposed allotment (including headroom for future ESOPs), preparing the board and shareholder resolutions, computing the ROC stamp duty on the increased capital, and filing Form SH-7 within the prescribed 30-day window. We also update the MOA and ensure the ROC confirms the increased authorized capital on MCA's master data.
An insufficient authorized capital ceiling can delay your funding round at the worst moment. Golden Verdict increases it proactively.
