	Dear Sanjeev,
	 
	1. Yes, a Private Limited Company can change its Authorsed Share Capital (except capital reduction) by way of passing ordinary resolution in the General Meeting.
	 
	2. Change in Authorised Share Capital is possible only with the consent of the Shareholders. Secondly, how can this affect the rights of minorty shareholders.??
	 
	3. Procedure is as under:-
	1. Consider the Matter in Board Meeting
	 
	2. Pass Ordinary Resolution in General Meeting
	 
	3. File form 5 within 30 days along with the altered copy of MOA.
	 
	4. If Articles are also to be amended, then Special Resolution is required and form 23 is also to be filed alogn with altered copy of AOA.
