Listed company and listed public company

Every company listed on stock exchange should be public company only. There is no difference between the two.

But Rule 3 of Companies(Appointment and Qualification of Directors) Rules, 2014 dealing with women director uses the word "Listed Company" whereas Rule 4 of said rules concerning independent directors uses word listed public company.Could you please deliberate the intention of the legislation for using these terms?

Companies whose securities ( Equity/debt instruments) registered on a stock exchange are called listed companies. It includes public / private. private companies can register their debt instruments on stock exchange.


listed public companies : Public companies whose securities (Equity & debt / only Equity) registered on stock exchange.
