A company intends to make some changes in the object clause of its Memorandum of Association. What is the regulatory procedure to be followed?
Answer
In order to amend the Memorandum of Association, the following needs to be done:
(a) the members must in an Extra Ordinary General Meeting propose and adopt such revision of object clause of the Memorandum
