The Companies Act, 1956 defines the word ‘company’ as a company formed and registered under the Act or an existing company formed and registered under any of the previous company laws (Section 3). Section 12 permits the formation of different types of companies. These may be (i) companies limited by shares, (ii) companies limited by guarantee, and (iii) unlimited companies. The vast majority of companies in India are with limited liability by shares.

“A Company is a voluntary association of persons formed for some common purpose with capital divisible into parts known as shares” The common stock so contributed is denoted in money and is “the capital” of the company. The persons who contribute it, or to whom it belongs, are members. The proportion of capital to which each member is entitled is his “share”. Shares in a company are transferable.
