Increase in Authorized Capital
The maximum number of shares a private limited company can issue is decided by its authorized capital. Most start-ups start their journey with the minimum authorized capital of Rs. 1 lakh, but this is too little as the business grows. To issue new shares or raise the capital a company is authorized to raise, the capital clause of the Memorandum of Association needs to be amended by passing a special resolution of the board. If at this point, you may also need shares to be issued to existing promoters or new shareholders.
Issuing New Shares?
To Existing Promoters
If you are increasing the authorized capital and issuing new shares to existing promoters, a board meeting needs to be called and Form PAS-3 needs to be filed with the Registrar of Companies (RoC), intimating the allotment of shares.
To New Shareholders
Issuing shares to new shareholders is a complicated procedure, necessitating a valuation report from a chartered accountant.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
