Subscription details (capital structure)
A public company can raise funds from the public through share issues and is the prerequisite structure for an IPO.
Shares can be freely transferred and, once listed, traded on a stock exchange, giving investors easy entry and exit.
Shareholder liability is confined to the unpaid value of shares, protecting personal wealth despite broad public ownership.
Unlimited shareholders and instruments like debentures let public companies mobilise the large capital base big expansions require.
Stricter governance, mandatory audits and disclosures give public companies higher trust with lenders, investors and partners.
Companies planning an IPO or stock exchange listing
Ventures targeting large public or institutional fundraises
Businesses wanting broad, transferable shareholding
Large enterprises needing access to debenture markets
Established firms scaling beyond private funding limits
Minimum seven shareholders and three directors
At least one director resident in India for 182 days or more
Digital Signature Certificates and DINs for all proposed directors
Registered office with valid address proof and no-objection certificate
KYC of 7 minimum subscribers and 3 directors.
SPICe+ Part A. Avoids LLP / Pvt Ltd suffix conflicts.
IPO-ready MoA aligned with SEBI listing requirements.
CIN, PAN, TAN, EPFO, ESIC bundled; bank account opens.

No — listing is optional. Many public companies remain unlisted (e.g., family conglomerates).
No statutory minimum — but practically ₹5 lakh+ is required for credibility. Authorised up to ₹15 lakh has the same MCA fee.
