Conversion of Private to Public Limited Company: Step By Step

Conversion of Private Limited Company to Public Limited Company – Overview

When a Private Limited Company plans to expand its operations and raise funds from the public or issue shares to investors, it may convert itself into a Public Limited Company.

A Public Limited Company is permitted to invite public investment and may also apply for stock exchange listing at a later stage. The conversion takes place under the Companies Act, 2013 with approval from the Registrar of Companies (ROC).

Note: After conversion, the company name must end with the word “Limited” instead of “Private Limited”.

Benefits of Conversion into a Public Limited Company

Private Limited to Public Limited Company – FAQs

Important questions related to conversion of a Private Limited Company into a Public Limited Company under the Companies Act, 2013.

Conversion is required only if the company wants to raise capital from the public or increase the number of shareholders beyond the private company limit. Normal private funding and investment can still be done without conversion.
A Public Limited Company must have a minimum of 7 shareholders and 3 directors. There is no maximum limit on the number of shareholders.
No. Conversion only changes the legal structure of the company. Stock exchange listing requires compliance with SEBI & exchange regulations and a separate IPO approval process.
All existing shareholders continue to remain shareholders of the company. Their shareholding percentage remains the same unless new shares are issued.
Once ROC approves the conversion and issues a fresh Certificate of Incorporation, the status remains valid permanently unless changed again as per law.
