A company may need to expand its approved share capital before giving new equity shares and increasing paid-up capital. Approved share capital is the all out estimation of shares a company can issue, while paid-up capital is the all out estimation of shares the company has given. Paid-up capital can never surpass approved capital. Consequently, if a company having an approved capital of Rs.10 lakhs and paid-up capital of Rs.10 lakhs might want to enlist new shareholders, it can do so either by:
Increasing authorized share capital and issuing new shares. (or on the other hand) Transferring shares from existing shareholders to the new shareholders.
Procedure to Increase Authorized Share Capital:
Step 1- Verifying approval within the Articles of Association
Step 2- Board meeting to notify the incidence of EGM- Issue notices in writing at least 21 days before the date of the meeting for the General Meeting with Explanatory Statement as required under Section 102 of the Companies Act 2013.
