A private placement is an issue of shares or of convertible securities by

a company to a select group of persons under Section 81 of the

Companies Act, 1956 which is neither a rights issue nor a public issue. (Generally made by Pvt Ltd Co) This is a faster way for a company to raise equity capital.

A listed company going for preferential allotment are has to comply with the

requirements contained in Chapter XIII of SEBI (DIP) Guidelines

pertaining to preferential allotment in SEBI (DIP) guidelines which inter alia include pricing, disclosures in notice etc, in addition to the requirements specified in the Companies Act.

A Qualified Institutions Placement is a private placement of equity

shares or securities convertible in to equity shares by a listed company to

Qualified Institutions Buyers only in terms of provisions of Chapter XIIIA

of SEBI (DIP) guidelines.

Now according to your query a Private Ltd comapny always being Unlisted it always makes Private Placement. to Explain it further it's a Issue of Stock available only to Designated Buyers so that the confidentiality of matters and personal holding of shares by the own members always so seeked by pvt ltd is maintained.
