ROC replied that there is no difference between private placement & preferential allotment under the companies act  2013. It is ROC opinion or comments on the question of similarity between the private placement & preferential allotment .  Once we get into practice side  we would understand that if a company , which could not able to raise further capital  from the existing sharesholders  under section 62 (1)(a) , could  raise the required fund from the outsiders under section 62 (1)(c) by passing a special resolution in general body meeting ,but in this circumtance  the company can not approach any unknown public becuase it is against the basic provisions of  private limited or against the provisions stated in part I of chapter III of new companies Act  2013 if it is public company . The main underlying point emphasised in section 42 is that the  pvt ltd company should be restricted from approaching  unknown common public by issuing any kind of invitation for subscribing in shares  and the public company should be prevented from escaping compliance of provisions stated in part I of chapter III of new company act because the sebi wants to protect interest of common investors   And hence it may be inferred that irrespective of fact that whether a company has complied with section 42 while going thru 62(1)(c) or not , the company would not go beyond  the provisions stated in clause 2 ( 68 ) if it is pvt limited company  or  the  provisions contained in part I of chapter III of new act if it is public ltd company . So additional compliance with sec 42 while going thru sec 62(1)(c) route  would not be necessciated if the company concerned takes care of compliances of relevant applicable provisions stated in the nature of restriction as explained above
