09 November 2011 No dear in your case passing of special resolution is not required as you do not need to amend your AOA.

Simply pass an ordinary resolution u/s 94 in GM and file form-5.

01 August 2024 To address your queries regarding increasing the authorized share capital of a company in India, let’s break it down step-by-step:

### **1. Special Resolution vs. Ordinary Resolution**

**Special Resolution:**
- **Required for:** Increasing the authorized share capital of a company. This is because the Companies Act, 2013, mandates that any alteration of the authorized share capital requires a special resolution passed by the shareholders.
- **Threshold:** A special resolution requires a three-fourths majority of the members present and voting.

**Ordinary Resolution:**
- **Required for:** Regular business decisions that do not involve alterations to the capital structure or significant changes to the Memorandum of Association (MOA) or Articles of Association (AOA).

### **2. Alteration of AOA and MOA**

- **Alteration of AOA:** If the AOA does not provide for the increase of authorized share capital or needs amendments to reflect the increased capital, a special resolution is required.
- **Alteration of MOA:** If the increase in authorized share capital affects the MOA (particularly Clause V related to the share capital), then the MOA needs to be altered, and this requires a special resolution as well.

### **3. Filing Form 5 and Fees**

**Form 5:**
- **Purpose:** Used to notify the Registrar of Companies (ROC) about the increase in authorized share capital.

**Fee Structure:**
- The fee for filing Form 5 is generally nominal. However, there are other charges related to the alteration of the MOA and AOA, which might be more significant.
- **Example Breakdown:**
- **Form Filing of Form 5:** Fee is listed as zero.
- **MOA Fee:** The charge of ₹55,000 is likely related to the increase in share capital, based on the authorized share capital amount and possibly other statutory fees.

**Basis of Calculation:**
- The fees for increasing authorized share capital are calculated based on the capital increase amount and are specified in the Companies (Registration Offices and Fees) Rules, 2014. For instance, an increase in share capital of ₹1.10 crores may attract a fee based on a slab rate for different amounts of increase.

### **4. Implementation of High Court Orders**

- **High Court Orders:** If there is a High Court order regarding the increase in share capital, it should be complied with. The order must be implemented by filing the necessary documents with the ROC, and fees should be calculated according to the prescribed rules.

### **Summary**

1. **Special Resolution:** Required for both increasing authorized share capital and altering the MOA or AOA.
2. **Form 5:** The filing fee may be nominal, but there are other fees related to the alteration of capital in the MOA.
3. **Fee Calculation:** Based on the increase in capital and other statutory guidelines.
4. **High Court Orders:** Should be implemented as directed and reflected in the statutory filings.

If there are discrepancies or doubts about the fee calculations or compliance with court orders, consulting with a company secretary or legal advisor is recommended to ensure proper adherence to legal requirements.
