Overview of Increasing Capital
When a private company wants to issue new shares, the amount of authorized share capital it has determines the maximum number of shares it can issue. There is no minimum capital increase requirement under the New Companies Act of 2013, which gives companies the flexibility to adjust their authorized capital as needed.
- To increase the authorized share capital, the board must approve an ordinary resolution and update the capital clause of the Memorandum of Association.
- The permitted amount of authorized share capital increase varies from company to company and can be changed with shareholder approval.
- For example, if a company has an authorized capital of 2 lakhs, it can issue shares for up to 2 lakhs.
- However, if an investor wants to put in one crore, the company can increase its authorized capital to 1 crore.
Advantages of Increasing Capital
| Increases Borrowing Capacity | The increase in share capital increases the company’s overall net worth. This increases the company’s borrowing capacity even more. It may entice investment because it can be easily accommodated if sufficient authorised capital is available |
| Raising Authorised Capital | A company can raise as much authorised capital as it wants, and this will be reflected in the MoA with revisions. As a result, increasing authorised capital has a cumulative effect on total company share capital |
