Public Limited to Private Limited
Going private means fewer compliances and tighter control — but the path runs through the NCLT, with shareholder approvals, stakeholder notices, and a tribunal order. We manage the full process so the conversion actually completes.

Public to Private Limited Conversion Package Inclusions
- NCLT approval route assessment for conversion
- Special resolution and creditor NOC compilation
- Petition drafting and filing with NCLT
- ROC filings after NCLT order
- New Certificate of Incorporation follow-up
Overview
What the conversion actually involves
A public company converts to private by altering its articles — which requires a shareholder special resolution and NCLT approval under Section 14.
The NCLT process includes notices to creditors and stakeholders, who get an opportunity to object.
On approval, the company gets a fresh certificate of incorporation reflecting private limited status.
The articles must then restrict share transfer, limit members to 200, and prohibit public subscription.
The company remains the same legal entity — contracts, assets, and liabilities continue uninterrupted.
Benefits
Why companies convert through us
Open each benefit to see what it means for you.
NCLT process managed
Public-to-private conversion needs NCLT approval — a tribunal process, not a filing. We manage the petition end to end.
Statutory procedure followed
Board meetings, shareholder special resolution, creditor considerations — the Companies Act sequence, executed in order.
Stakeholder process handled
Creditors, debenture holders, and regulators get their say in this process. We handle notices and objections.
Clean completion
Fresh certificate of incorporation, updated MOA/AOA, and filings — the conversion completed properly.
Documents
Documents you will usually need
Clear, current documents matter more than a long checklist. Names, dates of birth and addresses should match across every record — that's what the MCA checks first. Tick what you already have below.

What is a CIN?
Every Private Limited Company gets a unique 21-character Corporate Identification Number from the MCA. It's proof your company legally exists. You'll need it for bank accounts, tax filings, and contracts. We handle the entire application — you just provide the documents above.
Not sure if your documents are ready?
Send us what you have. A ComplyKart expert will review them for free and tell you exactly what's missing — no obligation.
Get Free Document ReviewQuestions Founders ask us about documents
What if my address proof is old?
Utility bills and bank statements must be less than 2 months old. If yours are older, get a fresh copy — the MCA rejects stale proofs.
Do I need original documents?
No. Clear scans or photos work for the entire process. We never ask you to courier originals.
What if directors live in different cities?
That's normal. Each director uploads their own documents separately. Our system keeps everything organised.
I'm outside India. Can I still register a company?
Yes. India allows 100% foreign ownership in most sectors, and the entire process happens online. You need one Indian resident director, and your passport + address proof must be apostilled — we'll guide you through both. NRI founders and foreign investors do this with us regularly.
Check if you're eligible →How long does registration actually take?
7 to 10 working days from the day your documents are verified. Name approval takes 2-3 days, MCA incorporation another 5-7. We track every stage and update you.
Can I start if I'm missing one document?
Yes. Start now with what you have — we begin name reservation and DSC while you arrange the rest. Most founders are missing one proof; it rarely blocks the timeline.

Common reasons: fewer compliance requirements, no minimum member count of seven, restrictions on share transfer becoming enforceable, and aligning the structure with a closely held business. We discuss whether conversion actually serves your goals before starting.
Yes — conversion of a public company to private requires approval of the Tribunal (NCLT) under Section 14, along with a special resolution of shareholders. This is what makes the process longer than most company changes.
Typically several months — the NCLT petition, notices to stakeholders, hearing, order, and then RoC filings. We give you a realistic timeline after reviewing your company.
A private company needs a minimum of 2 members (vs 7 for public), 2 directors, and its articles must restrict share transfer and prohibit public subscription. We redraft your MOA/AOA accordingly.

Creditors and other stakeholders are given notice and can object before the NCLT. We manage the notice process and respond to objections — most genuine conversions proceed smoothly.
The company continues as the same legal entity — contracts, assets, and liabilities carry over. Only the company's character and compliance regime change.
