Question

Maximum no. of members in case of private company is_________________.

• A. $50$
• B. $100$
• C. $150$
• D. $200$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $200$

464 says "Provided that the number of persons which may be prescribed under this sub-section shall not exceed one hundred." i.e. by rules limit can be prescribed, but whatever limit is prescribed it must not be greater than 100 (i.e. upto 100). And, the limit prescribed is 50 as per rules. Hence, current limit is 50 for a private company.

To start a company, a minimum number of 2 members are required and a maximum number of 200 members as per the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013.
