hey ritu hii , firstly private placement is rasing capital through private mode in place of going to public by issue of securities private placement is made to selected investors like banks,mutual funds,insurance companies.The placement does not have to be registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In many cases detailed financial information is not disclosed and a the need for a prospectus is waived. Finally since the placements are private rather than public, the average investor is only made aware of the placement usually after it has occurred.

ensure your memorandum and articles contain a clause authorising your company to receive private place ment funds.
necessary approvals if needed from your existing lenders to be obtained.
the board of directors study the terms and conditions and passa resoltion to authorise a director on behalf of the company to enter necessary agreement for private placement. inform rbi if prior approval needed as per RBI regulations. if a listed co. follow listing agreement clauses. R.V.RAO
