`Introduction

In simple words, a company can be defined as a group of persons associated together


for the purpose of carrying on a business, with a view to earn profits. However, one
must remember that companies may also be formed for the promotion of commerce,
art, science, religion or charity or any useful object under the Companies Act.

Lord Justice Lindley defines the company as ‘A company is an association of


many persons who contribute money or money‘s worth to a common stock and employ
it in some trade or business and who share a profit and loss arising there from. The
common stock so contributed is denoted in money and is the capital of the company.
The people who contribute it or to whom it belongs are members. The proportion of
capital to which each member is entitled is his share. The shares are always transferable
although the right to transfer is often more or less restricted.’

A company, formed and registered under the Company Act, is regarded by law as
a single person, having specified rights and obligations. The law confers on a company a
distinct legal personality, with perpetual succession and a common seal.

Public Limited Company


A public company is defined as a company which is not a private company. The
following conditions apply only to a public company:

 It must have at least seven shareholders.


 It must have minimum paid-up capital of Rs 5,00,000
 It must publish a prospectus or file a statement in lieu of a prospectus before it
can start transacting business.
 A public company is required to have at least three directors.
 It must hold statutory meetings and obtain government approval for the
appointment of the management. A public company is not authorized to start
business upon the grant of the certificate of incorporation. In order to be eligible
to commence business as a corporation, it must obtain another document called
"trading certificate”.
 It must have at least 3 directors.
 In the case of public company, the directors must file with the registrar consent
to act as a director or sign an undertaking for their qualification shares.
