Change in Objectives of Business

Legally expand or modify your company's scope of activities through ROC compliance.

This is a critical compliance service because a company's object clause in the Memorandum of Association (MOA) defines its permitted business activities. Any change in business objectives requires shareholder approval + ROC/MCA filings.

Why It Matters

The object clause in the company's MOA (Memorandum of Association) defines the company's primary and ancillary business activities.

When a company plans to:

  • Enter new sectors or lines of business
  • Pivot its model (e.g., from trading to manufacturing, or services to tech)
  • Add ancillary objects like exports, e-commerce, or consultancy
  • Align with investors, regulators, or business strategy …it must legally alter its MOA by obtaining shareholder approval and filing with ROC.
  • Failure to update business objectives with ROC can lead to:

  • Regulatory penalties under Companies Act, 2013
  • Investor mistrust during fundraising or due diligence
  • Restrictions in banking/financing approvals (if MOA doesn't cover activity)
