Board resolution for object clause change (initiation)

A board resolution for change in the object clause initiates an alteration of the memorandum under section 13(1) of the Companies Act 2013: the board approves the proposed objects and calls the general meeting for the special resolution. The alteration takes effect on registration of the special resolution by the ROC.

Common questions

Can the board alone change the object clause?

No. Altering the memorandum needs a special resolution of the members; the board resolution approves the proposal and convenes the meeting.

Which form registers the alteration?

MGT-14 filing the special resolution with the ROC; the alteration is effective on registration.

Does business under new objects need anything else?

Licences and registrations tied to activities, such as GST codes, may need updates; the consequential-steps authority covers them.

Can OnCompliance draft this for me?

Yes. OnCompliance drafts the resolution on the company’s letterhead with the details filled from the client’s record, records it in the minutes, and files it in the client’s folder, alongside the notice of the meeting and every other board document.
