HI ASHOK, there is a slab rate for increasing authorised share capital upto 1L - 4% 1-5L - 3% 5-50L - 2% 50-1C - 1% Above 1C- .5% Adding on, this expense is not allowable under the IT act u/s 37(1) as it is capital in nature

FEES PAYABLE TO ROC ON INCREASE OF AUTHORISED SHARE CAPITAL IS REVENUE EXPENDITURE UNDER ACCOUNT HEAD- RATES AND TAXES. IT IS DEDUCTIBLE UNDER INCOME TAX ACT .ROC RECEIPT( AT PRESENT YOU WILL GET MCA CHALLAN STAMPED AS PAID) IS TO BE PRODUCED ON BEING ASKED BY THE ASSESSING OFFICER OR YOUR AUDITOR. IT CANNOT BE TREATED AS CAPITAL EXP. BECAUSE ANY EXP. IN ORDER TO BE TREATED AS CAPITAL EXP. HAS TO SATISFY A FEW TESTS LIKE SUCH EXP. SHOULD RESULT IN ENHANCING REVENUE EARNING CAPACITY, OR IMPROVE ASSET LIFE ETC.... R.V.RAO
