MOA Generator (प्रबन्ध पत्र)

What a Memorandum of Association actually is

The Memorandum of Association (प्रबन्ध पत्र) is the document that brings your company into existence. It faces outward: it tells the Office of Company Registrar, your bank, and anyone dealing with you what the company is and what it is allowed to do. The Articles of Association, by contrast, face inward and govern how the company runs.

Under the Companies Act 2063, the MOA of a private limited company must state the company’s name and registered office, its objectives, the authorised and issued capital and how it is divided into shares, the liability of shareholders, and the details of each promoter with the shares they take.

The objectives clause is the one that matters later

Most founders skim the objectives and regret it. Your company may only carry on the activities its objectives cover. Adding an unrelated line of business later means amending the MOA at the OCR — a filing, a fee and a wait — and licensing authorities will check that your registered objectives match whatever licence you are applying for. Write the objectives wide enough to cover what you plausibly might do, not just what you are doing in month one.

Why OCR rejects an MOA

• Name not reserved, or not matching the reserved name exactly.
• Capital that does not add up — shares multiplied by face value must equal the stated capital, and the promoters’ shares must total the issued capital.
• Objectives that stray into an activity needing prior approval you do not have.
• Missing or inconsistent promoter details against the citizenship documents uploaded.
• Unsigned or improperly witnessed copies.

This generator produces the MOA in the standard format with the arithmetic done for you, which removes the second of those entirely. For the full registration path around it — name reservation, AOA, filing, PAN — see our company registration guide.
