Overview
What is MOA Amendment (Section 8 Company)?
Section 8 companies are formed to promote charitable goals such as education, art, science, social welfare or environmental protection. Because they hold a special licence, they cannot change their MOA or AOA freely.
Under Section 8(4) of the Companies Act, 2013, any alteration needs prior approval from the Regional Director. After approval, the change is filed with the ROC. We prepare the application and handle the follow-up.
