Overview:
The maximum number of shares that a private business may issue is defined by its authorised share capital. According to the 2013 New Companies Act, there is no minimum capital 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 authorized 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 ₹2 lakhs; in that case, it follows that it can issue shares for up to ₹2 lakhs. However, because it is flexible, this allowed capital may be increased or decreased as needed. Let's imagine a firm has ₹1 lakh in allowed capital, but an investor wishes to put in ₹1 crore. In this case, the company can raise its authorised capital to ₹1 crore. The permitted share capital for company registration is covered here.
