Private Limited Company is the most prevalent and popular type of corporate legal entity in India. To register a private limited company, a minimum of two shareholders and two directors are required and maximum of two hundred members. A corporate legal entity can only be a shareholder. Further, foreign nationals, foreign corporate entities or NRIs are allowed to be Directors and/or Shareholders of a Company with Foreign Direct Investment, making it the preferred choice of entity for foreign promoters.
(Anyone can register a Private Limited Company with Minimum Paid Up Capital for Private Limited is Rs. 100000. Governing body is Ministry Of Corporate Affairs.)
The liability of its members is limited, to the extent of unpaid money towards the subscribed capital of the company.
It has an independent legal existence. The Indian Companies Act, 2013 contains the provisions regarding the legal formalities for setting up of a private limited company. Registrars of Companies (ROC) appointed under the Companies Act covering the various States and Union Territories are vested with the primary duty of registering companies floated in the respective states and the Union Territories.
It is relatively less cumbersome to organize and operate, as it has been exempted from many regulations and restrictions to which a public limited company is subjected to.
The shares allotted to it’s members are also not freely transferable between them. These companies are not allowed to invite public to subscribe to its shares and debentures.
It enjoys continuity of existence i.e. it continues to exist even if all its members die or desert it.
Hence, a private company is preferred by those who wish to take the advantage of limited liability but at the same time desire to keep control over the business within a limited circle and maintain the privacy of their business.
- Separate Legal Entity: The members (Shareholders/Directors) of a company have no personal liability to the creditors of a company for company's debts.
- perpetual succession: business continues to exist even when shareholders change
- Borrowing Capacity: Easier to raise finance
- limited liability: limited to the extent of amount to be paid on shares.
