Overview

The modification of the object clause of the Company's Memorandum of Association is dealt with under Section 13 read with Rule 29 of the Companies (Incorporation) Rules, 2013.

A special resolution can amend the company's object, and the Registrar must register any changes to the memorandum relating to the company's objects and certify the registration.

A company's Memorandum of Association (MOA) has five clauses:
  1. Name Clause
  2. Situation Clause
  3. Object Clause
  4. Capital Clause
  5. Subscription Clause
  6. Nomination Clause (In case of a OPC)
Object Clauses are the clauses that define the goal and scope of activities that a company can engage in during the course of its existence.

Changes to the Company's Object Clause are subject to certain restrictions.

A company that has raised funds through a public prospectus must not change its Memorandum if it still has any unutilized amount of money raised, unless the company has passed a Special Resolution to that effect.
  1. Details of such resolution must also be required to be published in one English newspaper and one in vernacular language in the area where the Company's Registered Office is located, as well as on the Company's website, if any, stating the cause for change.
