MOA & AOA Amendment for a Company
Changes to a company's constitutional documents — the Memorandum and Articles of Association — require shareholder approval and MCA filing. SS Marks manages amendments to any clause.
MOA/AOA amended accurately and on time.
Amendments to the MOA (Memorandum of Association) or AOA (Articles of Association) are required when a company changes its name (Clause I), registered office state (Clause II), objects (Clause III), liability (Clause IV), capital structure (Clause V), or internal governance rules. Each type of amendment has a specific MCA form and filing timeline. SS Marks handles the full workflow from drafting the amended clause to MCA approval.
Documents required
- Current MOA and AOA
- Description of the proposed amendment (clause number and new wording)
- Board resolution approving the proposed amendment
- DSC of authorised director

Frequently asked questions
Can a company change its objects clause?
Yes. Contact us to know the exact pricing for your requirement. For listed companies, additional SEBI approval may be required.
Can the AOA be completely replaced?
Yes. A company can adopt an entirely new set of Articles of Association by passing a special resolution and filing the new AOA with MCA. This is commonly done when converting to a different company type or modernising governance documents.
What is the difference between MOA and AOA?
The MOA is the charter document — it defines the company's name, registered state, objects, liability and capital. The AOA is the rulebook — it governs internal management, director powers, shareholder rights and meeting procedures.
Is Central Government approval required for objects clause changes?
Contact us to know the exact pricing for your requirement.
How long does an MOA/AOA amendment take?
The process typically takes 10–15 working days from the EGM resolution to MCA approval — covering MGT-14 filing, processing and issuance of the updated certified copy.
