Small Company

A private company that meets specified paid-up capital and turnover thresholds.

Definition

A Small Company is a private company that meets specified thresholds — paid-up capital not exceeding ₹4 crore and turnover not exceeding ₹40 crore (as revised; the thresholds have been raised multiple times). Small companies face relaxed compliance burdens: no mandatory cash flow statement, simplified board-report requirements, and a two-director minimum. The classification is updated at each financial year based on the company's latest figures.
