Hi Abhishek,

In my opinion answer would be as -

Once the Certificate of Incorporation is issued it means that all procedural formalities are complied with and no one can challenge it. As company is also regd prior to Act, 1956, I don't think any problem will be there. Still if the company wants to insert it in MoA, they can amend the MoA. Applicable procedure they will have to follow then.

Waiting for other valuable views.

thanks for your replying

but the issue is that they have not inserted the clause in MOA. so according to me a MOA can only be amended if it is having a clause. Now there is no clause of object. so still what to do
