Conversion of Public company to Private company

Conversion of a public company to private company would become effective from the date of receipt of the approval of the Registrar though the change of name would become effective on the issue of fresh Certificate of Incorporation. The Companies Act, 2013 has simplified the provisions but has brought a lot of restrictions on doing business. Therefore many public companies are converting themselves into private limited companies.
