Hereโs the clear guidance on filing MGT-14 and SH-7 when altering authorised capital of a private company:
1. Do you need to file both MGT-14 and SH-7? Yes.
When you alter the Authorised Capital, it involves amendment to the Memorandum of Association (MOA) under Section 13 and Articles of Association (AOA) under Section 14 of the Companies Act, 2013.
This requires passing a Special Resolution in the General Meeting.
Form MGT-14 is filed to intimate the Registrar of Companies (ROC) about the Special Resolution passed.
After the resolution is passed and filed, the company files Form SH-7 for alteration of authorised capital with ROC.
2. Which form to file first โ MGT-14 or SH-7? File MGT-14 first within 30 days of passing the Special Resolution.
After successful filing of MGT-14, file SH-7 for altering authorised capital.
SH-7 must be filed within 30 days of passing the resolution as well.
