Authorized share capital is the maximum amount of capital that a company is legally allowed to raise by issuing shares to its shareholders. This limit is stated in the Memorandum of Association (MOA) at the time of incorporation, and the company can issue shares only up to this approved limit.

As the company grows, it may require additional funds for expansion, working capital, or new business opportunities. In such cases, the company must increase its authorized share capital before issuing additional shares and raising more funds.

Increasing the authorized capital is a legal compliance process that requires approval from the Board of Directors and shareholders, modification of the MOA, and filing the prescribed forms with the Registrar of Companies (ROC). Since the process involves documentation and statutory approvals, it must be handled carefully to remain compliant with the Companies Act.
