Solution

The capital clause mentions the total share capital of the company with which it is registered, i.e. authorized capital. This is the maximum capital which the company is authorised to raise. This clause also mentions types of shares, the face value of each type of shares, their number, etc. This clause further states the rights attached to each class of shares. According to provisions of the Companies Act, 1956, the company is permitted to issue two types of shares, viz. Equity shares and Preference shares. The company has to alter this clause if a company needs more funds than the amount of authorised capital. The Articles of Association of a company gives power to the company to alter its capital clause. A company can alter capital clause by passing an ordinary resolution in the General meeting of the company.
