Introduction
A Private Limited Company is the most relevant and caught on type of business structure in India, suitable for small and medium scale businesses. However, the total number of members in Private Limited companies cannot exceed the maximum limit of 200.
Once the registration of such companies is done, a separate legal existence is attained by a business organization which means a registration gives a business – an individual legal identity independent of the company’s directors and shareholders. This implies the continuation of the company’s existence even after the death of any member of the company. This makes the registration of a Private Limited company as an important job. For Private Limited company registration, one must go to professionals or visit MCA online portal.
Companies Act, 2013 lays down the law for Private Limited companies and the Ministry of Corporate Affairs is the regulatory body for the registration of these companies.
