Private / Pvt., and Limited/Ltd.

Hi,

Are the words private / pvt and limited / ltd are interchangeable in a given company name, technically as well as legally ?

I mean can i write ABC Private Limited as ABC Pvt. Limited or ABC Private Ltd or ABC Pvt. Ltd  or the combinations thereof?
Any conclusive reference to the above as of latest guidelines in India in this matter will be really helpful.

Thanks in advance.

Yes you can follow the same practice. It is legally possible.

 

Compan Name: ABC Private Limited

You can write:

1. ABC Private Limited

2. ABC (P) Limited

3. ABC Pvt. Ltd.

4. ABC (P) LTd.

5. ABC Private Ltd.

6. ABC Pvt. Limited

 

My personal suggstion is use---- ABC Private Limited

Hi Ankur,

I need to clarify here.

Once I have chosen it in a particular form/style and registered with ROC, can i write it in forms/styles other than the registered form/style substituting private with pvt and limited with ltd ?

 For example, name as registered with ROC: ABC Private Ltd.

Is it legally correct to use ABC Private Limited, ABC Pvt. Ltd. ,,, in place of ABC Private Ltd. ? 

thanks.

For removal of all your doubts--simply use the name mentioned in certificate of incorporation.


For me it ok to use ABC Private Limited, ABC Pvt. Ltd. in place of ABC Private Ltd. 

 

Thanks.

Generally it is seen that the Company use different Forms/ Styles of writing their names on the letter Heads of the Company or other Forms as well some times...
