Overview
A Private Limited Company is one of the most popular business structures in India, governed by the Companies Act 2013 and regulated by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA). It requires a minimum of two directors and two shareholders, who can either be the same or different individuals, with at least one director being a resident of India.
