Public Limited Company

What is a Public Limited Company?

A Public Limited Company (PLC) in India is a type of business organisation that can sell its shares to the public via stock exchanges. It is operated under the Companies Act, 2013. To register a public limited company, there must be at least 7 shareholders and 3 directors, with no upper limit on the number of shareholders.

Under Section 2(71) of the Companies Act, a Public Limited Company must register with the Registrar of Companies (ROC) and must include the term "Limited" in its name. Further, as per to Section 23, all public companies can raise capital through public offerings or private placements. This makes them a preferred option for businesses looking for significant investment.

Public Limited Companies must comply with SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, if they are listed and must file annual financial statements and board reports under Sections 129 and 134 of the Companies Act.
