MOA Amendment Of Public Limited

Stay Legally Compliant While Expanding Your Business Horizons

The Memorandum of Association (MOA) is the foundation document of a Public Limited Company. It defines the name, objectives, scope, capital, and registered office of the company. Any alteration to these fundamental clauses must be done through an MOA Amendment in accordance with the Companies Act, 2013.

For a Public Limited Company, MOA amendments are especially critical since they affect a wider group of shareholders, investors, and stakeholders. Compliance ensures transparency, legal security, and smooth business expansion.
