Definition

According to Section 2(20) of the Companies Act, 2013, a company means, "A company incorporated under this Act or any previous Company Law".


In the word of Prof. L. H. Haney, "A company is an artificial person created by law, having separate entity with a perpetual succession and a common seal."


In the word of Lord Justice Lindley, "It is an association of persons who contribute money or money's worth to a common stock and employ it for some common purpose."

Characteristics / Features of a Company

(i)  Incorporation: A company is an artificial person that comes into existence through process of law, i.e. it is governed by The Companies Act.


(ii) Separate Legal Entity: A Company is a legal person and its entity is quite distinct and separate from its members. A company can own property, incur debts, borrow money, enter into contracts, sue and be sued. It can conduct a lawful business and enter into contract with others.


(iii) Limited Liability: The liability of the members is usually limited to the value of the shares subscribed by each of them.

Example for Clarification: If a shareholder is holding 500 shares of ` 10 each, on which he has already paid ` 7 per share, then in the event of losses or company's failure to pay debts, the shareholder is liable to pay only ` 1,500 (i.e. the unpaid amount of ` 3 on 500 shares).


(iv) Perpetual Existence: Company has a permanent or perpetual existence, i.e. its existence is not affected by death, insolvency, coming or going of the members.


(v) Transfer of Shares: The shareholders enjoy a right to transfer their shares without restriction in case of public companies. However, in case of private companies, Articles of Association restrict the transfer of shares.


(vi) Separation of Management from Ownership: Shareholders are the owners, but the company is managed by their elected representatives called Directors.


(vii) Common Seal: The common seal acts as the official signature of the company. All important documents of the company must bear the common seal of the company.
