What is Public Company

Public company means a company which—

(I)           is not a private company; and

(II)          has a minimum paid-up share capital as may be prescribed*:

Provided that a company which is a subsidiary of a company, not being a private company, shall be deemed to be public company for the purposes of this Act even where such subsidiary company continues to be a private company in its articles;

The requirement of having a minimum paid up share capital shall not apply to a section 8 company vide notification dated 5th June 2015.

*Since nothing has been prescribed so far, thus, there is no minimum paid up share capital to form a public company.
