Company-Class Applicability Index

Page contents

Applicability matrix across all 12 company classes: private, unlisted public, listed, OPC, small, startup, Section 8, Nidhi, government, producer, foreign and IFSC companies.

A single Companies Act, 2013 provision can apply differently — or not at all — depending on which of these 12 company classes an entity falls into; this index links each class to its own applicability page rather than presenting one generic compliance list, since a private company, an OPC and a Section 8 company can face materially different obligations under the same Chapter.
