A company can increase its authorized capital by following the prescribed procedures under company laws. It involves passing necessary resolutions by shareholders and filing documents with the ROC. 

The registration fee payable to the ROC depends on the authorized capital of the company. Hence, every time there is an increase in authorized capital, the differential fee is payable to the ROC. Certain states in India mandate the payment of stamp duty on authorized capital. Therefore, the required stamp duty is also required to be paid by companies while increasing the authorized capital in those states.

The increase in authorized capital involves amending the company’s MOA. In certain cases, the Articles of Association (AOA) of the company also contains the authorized capital clause. In such cases, the respective clause in the AOA also needs to be changed for every increase in capital.

Authorized Capital or Registered Capital of a company is the upper limit of capital for which a company can issue shares and collect money from shareholders. Authorized capital can be enhanced at any time by passing a resolution at a meeting of shareholders.
Issued capital refers to the total amount of capital issued by the company to shareholders. The issued capital cannot be more than the authorized capital.
Unissued capital refers to the portion of authorized capital that is unissued. The total of issued and unissued capital should be equal to the authorized capital.
The fee is based on the paid-up capital of the company. You can compute the fee using our online fee calculator.
