Can we register a company in India with Pte Ltd or is there any legal binding to use Pvt Ltd?

Using Pvt Ltd is mandatory for Private Limited Companies. The name cannot end with Pte Ltd.

Thank you!

But as Pte also means Pvt, is there any legal mandate specified in company Act to use Pvt?

In the new Companies Act, 2013 name availability guidelines for Company are given under Rule 8 of the Companies (Incorporation) Rules, 2014.

First Precuation

The name of the Company should END with

the last word “Limited” in the case of a public limited Company, or

the last words “Private Limited” in the case of a private limited Company

♣Section-8 Company(NGOs) and Government[2]Company is not required to mention Limited or Private Limited in its name.
