In my opinion it requires Special Resolution. Sec. 61 says that a company may alter its share capital by amending MoA but the section is silent about the type of resolution. However Sec. 13 exclusively talks about procedure for changing MoA which states that it requires Special Resolution. Some experts are of the view that since Sec 61 is silent, ordinary resolution is sufficient. But in my view that is not true. Sec. 61 says one can alter share capital 'by amending MoA'. Now when there is already a separate section 13 which prescribes procedure for changing MoA, there was no need to mention the type of resolution again in section 61. Hence Special Resolution is required as per Sec.13.
MoA is not supposed to have this kind of a clause to my knowledge. MoA will always mention specific clauses of capital. If it has to be altered you have to follow CA 2013 provisions.
