The single document that decides whether a share capital change goes smoothly is the shareholder resolution itself, ordinary for a straightforward increase, special for a reduction. Get the resolution type wrong and the registrar bounces the filing back before looking at anything else. Gurugram and Faridabad companies both file through the same office today, ROC Haryana at Chandigarh, so getting the resolution right matters more than picking a registrar. LegalX India drafts every resolution correctly the first time, whether you are raising capital or reducing it.
Does a Share Capital Change Apply to Your Company This Year?
This applies in three different situations, and each needs a different filing. Increasing authorized capital needs Form SH-7. Allotting new shares against existing headroom needs Form PAS-3 instead. Reducing capital, say to write off accumulated losses, needs approval from the National Company Law Tribunal, not just the registrar.
A Gurugram IT company preparing an ESOP pool usually needs the first. A Faridabad manufacturing company allotting shares to a new working partner usually needs the second. Very few companies need all three in the same year.
A private limited company, a public limited company and an OPC can all use these filings, though an OPC has to work within its own single shareholder structure. A public company also tends to face a longer shareholder approval stage simply because more people are voting on the same resolution.
What Records Do You Need Ready Before Filing?
For an authorized capital increase, we need your current MOA, your shareholder list, and the target capital figure. For a share allotment, we need the list of allottees with their PAN details and proof that application money has actually been received.
For a capital reduction, the list grows. You will need a special resolution, your latest audited balance sheet, a solvency declaration from the directors, and a full creditor list, since creditors get a chance to object before the Tribunal. Companies in DLF Cyber City or the NIT Faridabad belt should have their CIN and registered office proof ready either way.
How Is the Deadline Counted for Each Filing Type?
Form SH-7 and Form PAS-3 are both due within 30 days, counted from the date of the resolution or the date of allotment, whichever applies to your filing. A capital reduction runs on a different clock entirely.
There is no fixed statutory number of days for the Tribunal stage, since it depends on hearing dates and how quickly creditors respond to the notice. We confirm a realistic timeline once your petition is actually filed, rather than promising a fixed number upfront.
A Gurugram company that files its SH-7 the same week the board resolution is passed rarely runs into timing trouble. One that waits three weeks to even start drafting is already eating into the 30 day window before the paperwork has even reached the registrar.
What Does a Late SH-7 or PAS-3 Filing Cost?
Missing the 30 day window for SH-7 or PAS-3 turns a routine filing into a late one, and the additional fee only grows from there.
| How Much Time Has Passed | What Usually Happens Next |
|---|---|
| A few days to a month late | Smallest additional fee bracket kicks in |
| One to two months late | Fee bracket doubles from that smallest one |
| Two to six months late | Fee bracket rises further, and paperwork gets extra scrutiny |
| Over six months late | Largest fee bracket applies, no exceptions |
A capital reduction that stalls at the Tribunal does not attract this same additional fee structure. It does mean your balance sheet keeps carrying the exact position you were trying to clean up, which can matter a great deal during a due diligence review.
How Does the Filing or Petition Actually Run?
- We confirm which of the three filings applies to you: SH-7, PAS-3, or an NCLT petition for reduction.
- We draft the resolution, ordinary for a straightforward increase, special for a reduction or certain allotment restrictions.
- For an increase or allotment, we file with ROC Haryana at Chandigarh, the single registrar covering both Gurugram and Faridabad.
- For a reduction, we file the petition with NCLT Chandigarh, the bench that has handled Haryana's company matters since 2017.
- We track the filing until the registrar or Tribunal confirms the change on your records.
Which Haryana Companies Ask for This the Most?
- A Gurugram IT or SaaS company on DLF Cyber City increasing authorized capital ahead of a funding round, then allotting shares once the round closes.
- A Faridabad manufacturing SME in the NIT Faridabad or Ballabgarh belt allotting shares to bring in a new working partner.
- A Gurugram professional services firm on Golf Course Road reducing capital to write off accumulated losses before a sale.
- A Faridabad company converting a promoter loan into equity, which needs a capital increase before the allotment can proceed.
Any of these files with the same registrar, ROC Haryana at Chandigarh, or the same Tribunal bench, NCLT Chandigarh, for a reduction. That consistency is itself useful. A founder who has already been through an SH-7 filing for a Gurugram entity knows exactly what to expect if a Faridabad group company ever needs the same thing.
