Dear Friend,
Ltd company is otherwise known as public limited company and pvt ltd company is a private limited company. Under public limited there are private sector company and public sector company.
The difference between pvt ltd and public ltd company is in the no. of shareholders and transferability of shares. In pvt ltd the minimum no. of shareholders is 2 and maximum is 50 excluding the past and present employees who holds shares . Whereas in public limited the minimum no. of shareholders is 7 and there is no maximum limit.
In the case of public limited co., the shares are freely transferable but it is not so in private limited company.
Some of the strigent requirements which are applicable to public limited companies are not there in the case of private limited companies.
Public sector company is a company where the central govt or state govt or both of them combined together holds the majority of shares. But in Private sector companies the private individuals or business houses holds the majority of shares.
As far as I am concerned there is no significant difference regarding the benefits to be offered by a Private Ltd or Public Ltd Companies. Most of the benefits are reliant on the no. of employees working in a concern.
Hope some of your doubts are cleared.
Thanking you

Hello:
Ltd and public ltd companies are one and the same. Pvt Ltd companies are the ones that cannot issue their shares to the public at large and the total number of shareholders in the company is limited to 20 (at least that's the way it was in 19743 when I started my company).
There are no differences relating to compensation rules between public and pvt ltd companies.

The share holders cannot be denied to inspect the minutes' book.
The Board of Directors are to be qualified to run a company.
Although there may be several directors in such a company, but the financial implications involves the entire share holders, irrespective of each directors' stake.
Any aggrieved minority share holder (a group), having more than 5%shares, if he feels, that the company is doing something wrong, against the interests of them/him can file a petition in the CLB u/s 398-399 of the Company Act 1956, for mismanagement and winding up of the company.
The obligations are too many to protect the interests of the share holders, having 5% + shares.
As per the new laws, there has to be a company secretary in a public ltd co.
These companies are elligible to float IPO, if there are profits for the last
three years, for any expansion projects, subject to the approval of SEBI.
I think this information is sufficient for you.
