What is a Memorandum of Association (MOA)?
The MOA is a vital legal document created during company incorporation. It defines a company’s structure, purpose, and boundaries. It includes key clauses such as:
Name Clause – Company’s legal name
Situation Clause – Registered office location
Object Clause – Business objectives and permitted activities
Liability Clause – Liability of members
Capital Clause – Authorised capital and share structure
Subscription Clause – Founders’ agreement to subscribe to shares
What is an MOA Amendment?
An MOA amendment involves altering specific clauses in the MOA to reflect changes in your business operations, name, location, capital, or liability structure. Governed by Section 13 of the Companies Act, 2013, this process ensures your MOA aligns with your current business direction.
When Do You Need to Amend the MOA?
You may need to amend your MOA in the following scenarios:
Change in Company Name
Shift in Registered Office (Inter-State)
Update or Add Business Objectives
Change in Share Capital Structure
Modification of Liability Terms
