The Amendment Process
Strategic Planning
We help draft the new business objectives, ensuring they are broad enough for future growth yet compliant with ROC standards.
Member Approval

ROC Filing
Handling the filing of Form MGT-14 with the Registrar of Companies to legalize the changes in your company’s MOA.
Why Update Your Object Clause?
The Object Clause defines the scope of your company’s activities. If you undertake business activities not listed in your MOA, you are acting “ultra vires” (beyond your legal powers), which can lead to:
- Legal Invalidity: Contracts or agreements made for unlisted business activities may be deemed unenforceable.
- Regulatory Scrutiny: The MCA may question your company’s operations if they deviate from the registered objectives.
- Limited Funding: Banks and investors conduct due diligence on your MOA; an outdated object clause can hinder your fundraising efforts.
Frequently Asked Questions
