Home / Company Law & Secretarial Services / Alteration of MOA & AOA
Last updated: 2 October 2026
As a company grows, its memorandum (MOA) and articles (AOA) need to keep up — new business objects, investor rights, capital changes or updated governance. Our team drafts the changes, runs the approvals and files them with the ROC.
Entrenched provisions in the articles can be changed only if the conditions set for them are met.
Based on the Companies Act, 2013 and the rules made under it. Last updated: 27 September 2026.
