I receive a question on Quora which may interest readers of this Blog. The question is –
“What is limited in private limited company? I understand limited means limited liability but can someone explain with a detailed example about how this liability turns out to be limited. Please use numerical in the example. Lets consider 4 owners, each one has 25% stake in the company & the total investment is say 1 lac INR.”
UPDATE: on 30th August 2013: Companies Bill 2012 became the Companies Act, 2013 (Act 18 of 2013).
Section 3, 4 and 5 of the Companies Bill, 2012 Act 2013
In my last post, I discussed definition of companies and classes.
FORMATION OF COMPANY (SECTION 3):
A company may be formed for any lawful purpose by:
(a) Seven or more persons as public company;
(b) Two or more persons as private company;
(c) One person as One Person Company
By subscribing names to a memorandum and complying other requirements.
