Is it necessary to pass a special resolution for alteration of authorized share capital?.
To clarify more, we can alter the authorized share capital by passing an ordinary resolution. But by the effect of that there will be a change in the respective clause in MoA. Hence my doubt is whether it is require to pass a special resolution.
