Document background
The Corporate Memorandum is a mandatory document required during company incorporation in India under the Companies Act, 2013. It serves as the company's charter, defining its relationship with external stakeholders and setting the boundaries of its operations. This document is essential when establishing a new company or modifying an existing company's fundamental characteristics. The Corporate Memorandum must include specific clauses as mandated by Indian law, including the name clause, registered office clause, objects clause, liability clause, and capital clause. It requires registration with the Registrar of Companies and forms part of the public records, allowing stakeholders to understand the company's scope and limitations. The document's contents are binding on the company and its members, making it crucial for corporate governance and regulatory compliance.
