Authorised Share Capital - Overview

An Authorised share capital determines the maximum number of shares a private business can issue. According to the 2013 New Companies Act, there is no minimum capital increase requirement. The capital clause of the Memorandum of Association is updated by the board approving an ordinary resolution in order to issue additional shares or increase the authorized share capital. This sum of increase in share capital varies from business to business and could alter, but only with the consent of shareholders. Let's say a firm has an authorised capital of Rs.2 lakhs; in that case, it follows that it can issue shares for up to Rs.2 lakhs. However, because it is flexible, this allowed capital may be increased or decreased as needed. Let's imagine a firm has Rs.1 lakh in allowed capital, but an investor wishes to put in Rs.1 crore. In this case, the company can raise its authorised capital to Rs.1 crore. The permitted share capital increase for company registration is covered here.

Advantage

A company can raise whatever authorised capital as they decide upon and the same will be mentioned in the MoA with revisions. Hence, increasing authorised capital has an incremental effect on the overall company share capital.

With the increase in share capital, the company's overall net worth also increases. This further enhances the borrowing capacity of the company.
