Read-through of the Articles of Association

If such provision exists in AOA, then the process becomes very simple. But if the provision does not exist, then first the company has to amend the Articles of Association under Section 14 of the Companies Act, 2013 (‘Act”), and then the company can proceed with the modification of authorised capital.
