MEMORANDUM OF ASSOCIATION AND ARTICLE OF ASSOCIATION
Every company in India needs to submit all the documents that declare the capital structure of the
business, the business it is into and how it is owned and governed under the Companies Act. Memorandum
of Association (MOA) and Articles of Association (AOA) contain all these details. Think of them as your
company's constitution. The format should be standard for these documents, but you need to consult it
with a professional/expert.
Sample AOA and MOA as per schedule 1 of companies act,13.
Let's find out what exactly they are for and how you can have them altered as you grow your business.

3. MEMORANDUMOFASSOCIATION
•Contents: The main purpose of the MOA is to confirm that the
shareholders wish to form under the Companies Act, 2013.
Every subscriber must receive at least one share and the name
of the company, the registered office address, the main aims
and objectives of the business, capital structure, and
information about the shareholders, along with their liability
should be mentioned in the documents.
Changes: If there is any change in these clauses then it needs
to be communicated with the Registrar of Companies (ROC). A
change in the name requires written approval of the
government if substantial. A change in the address requires a
special resolution to be passed if within the same state; if it
falls under the jurisdiction of a different ROC, then also a
confirmation from the government (which then needs to be
filed with the ROC within 30 days).By passing a special
resolution of the board, the objects can be altered. If there is
any further change then it needs to be communicated in
writing with the ROC.

the business is to be carried on, all are defined by the AOA.
Other important contents are the classes of shares, procedure

members and their borrowing power.
Changes: If there are any changes to the AOA, then it has to
be made by special resolution and must be communicated to
the ROC within 30 days and registered within three months. Of
course, only changes authorized by the Act can be made and
these must be for the good of the company as a whole.

picture while internal regulations are being defined by AOA.

while the AOA do not need any government authorization and
can be changed by special resolution.
