2. PRIVATE LIMITED COMPANY
Private Limited Company is the most
preferred and popular way of starting
a business in India. It is well known
and famous for its structure, as it very
easy to setup and very well
recognized in India.
Private Limited Company is one of the most preferred legal entities for
registration in India being governed by Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA),
incorporated under Companies Act, 2013. The company requires a minimum of
two directors and two shareholders for registration with a maximum capping of
15 directors and 200 members. The director and shareholder both can be a
natural person, while a corporate legal entity can only be a shareholder. The
reason for popularity of a Private Limited Company in foreign promoters is the
fact that as per FDI provisions of Indian Government, NRIs, foreign nationals as
well as foreign corporate entities can be shareholders and/or directors of such a
company. The key features of a Private Limited Company include limited
liability, perpetual existence, separate legal identity, ownership of property and
ability to raise the equity funds.
