    4. Pass Special Resolution
      • At the EGM, pass a Special Resolution to amend the object clause with a 75% majority vote.

      • File Form MGT-14 with the RoC within 30 days of passing the resolution, attaching:
        • Certified copy of the Special Resolution.
        • Altered MoA.
        • Explanatory statement.
    6. Obtain RoC Approval
