A Public Limited Company (PLC) is an ideal structure for businesses aiming to expand, attract investors, and raise public funds. With its ability to offer shares to the public, a PLC offers unmatched opportunities for growth and credibility. Here’s a complete guide to understanding and registering a Public Limited Company in India.

What is a Public Limited Company?

A Public Limited Company is a corporate structure in India that allows businesses to raise capital by offering shares to the public. Unlike private limited companies, PLCs have no restriction on the maximum number of shareholders and are subject to stringent regulatory compliance under the Companies Act, 2013.

Key Features of a Public Limited Company
  1. Separate Legal Entity: A PLC is distinct from its shareholders and directors, offering limited liability protection.
  2. Raising Capital: Companies can raise funds by issuing shares to the public or getting listed on stock exchanges.
  3. No Shareholder Limit: Unlike private companies, PLCs can have an unlimited number of shareholders.
  4. Stringent Compliance: PLCs are required to adhere to more extensive regulatory and legal requirements, ensuring transparency and accountability.

Benefits of Registering a Public Limited Company

  1. Access to Public Funds: Ability to raise substantial capital from public investors.
  2. Enhanced Credibility: Being publicly listed improves trust among investors, stakeholders, and clients.
  3. Growth Potential: Greater resources and funding allow for expansion and diversification.
  4. Limited Liability: Shareholders are only liable up to the amount of their investment.

How to Register a Public Limited Company in India

Registering a PLC involves several steps, ensuring compliance with legal requirements. Here is the process:

  1. Apply for Digital Signature Certificate (DSC): Essential for signing and submitting documents electronically.
  2. Obtain Director Identification Number (DIN): Required for all directors of the company.
  3. Reserve a Name: File the RUN (Reserve Unique Name) application to secure the company’s name.
  4. File SPICe+ Form (INC-32): Simplified Proforma for Incorporating a Company electronically. It includes PAN and TAN applications.
  5. Prepare eMoA and eAOA: Draft the Memorandum of Association (eMoA) and Articles of Association (eAOA) defining the company’s objectives and rules.
