A private limited company is a company that is privately held by business entities. The liability of the members of a private limited company is limited to the shares owned by them and shares of a private limited company cannot be freely traded. Private Limited Company registration is the most well known legal structure for businesses in India. It is incorporated under the Companies Act, 2013 and governed by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA).

To start a company, a minimum number of 2 members are needed and a maximum number of 200 members as per the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013.
The liability of each member or shareholder is limited. It means that if a company bears loss under any circumstances then its shareholders are liable to sell their assets for payment. The personal/individual assets of the shareholder are not at risk. A Nominee Shareholder is the registered owner of shares within a company. A nominee shareholder arrangement is used to keep the real shareholder’s identity confidential.
