The Public Limited Company is one of the types of business entities in India. Unlike Private Limited Company, a Public Limited Company issues shares to common public. Generally, the enterprenuers initially register their business entity as private limited, build strong financials and if they want to expand the business, they covert this into Public Limited Company and go for public issue. They will collect funds towards share capital by complying SEBI (Securities Exchange Board of India) guidelines and Stock Exchange Regulations. Thereby these companies share are traded on Stock Exchanges. The shareholder may trade their shares in the open market. We can easily identify these companies titled with LIMITED. Example: WIPRO LIMITED, TATA STEEL LIMITED, INFOSYS LIMITED etc.,. The members of Public Limited Companies will have limited liability to the extent of their share capital like private limited companies but more compliances are there when compared to private limited companies.
Company Registration is regulated by the Central Registration Center (CRC), Manesar, Haryana on behalf of each state jurisdictional Registrar of Companies, Ministry of Corporate Affairs, Government of India. The governing law for the companies is Companies Act, 2013. The Government of India had announced on 26th January, 2018 that there is zero incorporation fee for the Companies registered with an Authorized Share Capital up to of Rs. 1,000,000/- (Rupees Ten Lakhs), subsequently it had been increased to Rs. 15 lakhs. The remaining fee such as Name Availability, Stamp Duty, Permanent Account Number (PAN) and Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number (TAN) is applicable as usual.
In India, the businesses are registered as Private Limited Company (PVT LTD), Limited Company (LTD) and Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) and whereas in western countries, the LLC, Inc, PJSC, GMBC companies are registered. The concept of limited liability is same but the entity is named differently.

The liability of the members of the Company is limited. The Directors or Shareholders are not personally liable for the debts of the Company. For example, when Company is in default of repayment of debt or loan, there is a protection to the personal assets of the Directors or Shareholders. They can recover the loan amount only by selling the assets of the Company.
Venture Capital and Angel Investors show interest in Company type of business for the equiry investment as they do not wish to invlove in day to day administration. The concept of Company is run the show through Directors, the shareholders are the investors of the Company and the management is run by the Directors of the Company.
Talented employees show interest in Company type of businesses instead of Partnership or Proprietorship firm. Company can retain talented employees by issuing Employee Stock Options. Employees of reputed companies can get loans from Banks easily at less rate of interest.
The Director of the Company can be the employee of the Company. He can give his own premises on rent/lease to Company and Collect rent from it, he can give loan to the Company and can take loan from Company, he can supply goods or services to the Company and get consideration for that.
The members of the Company may come and may go but Company may not go that means the members are different and the Company is different. Company can own assets on it own name and can sell. It can sue and can be sued in a court of law.
The members of the Company may easily exit the Company by simply signing a Share Transfer Form. In Listed Companies, the members may sell their shares through Stock Market easily. In Private Limited Companies, the ownership change is simply done through transfer of shares by signing the Share Tranfer forms.
