The Most Important Reason for conversion of a limited company into an private limited company is on the tax front.

Naveed ji,

thanks for your reply, it will be very helpful for me if you give detail with example

The private company has more privileges than the public limited company which may lead to the conversion of a public limited company to a private limited company. The compliance of Company Law is less than for the private companies than the public limited companies.

Sir, the benefits of private company are Tax benefits, exempt from surcharge and also not liable to pay Dividend Distribution Tax, Easy to manage and run, Less Government Intervention, Easy to dissolve or wind-up, Audit requirement only in case of contributions exceeding ₹ 25 lacs or turnover exceeding ₹ 40 lacs.

There are various and numerous reasons for such change; however the specific reason may be known from the company itself.

AI Summary

Conversion to private limited company reduces corporate compliance and can provide tax and governance advantages.
Conversion from a public (Limited) company to a private limited company is undertaken to alter regulatory and fiscal obligations: it yields tax benefits (including exemptions from certain surcharges and dividend distribution tax where applicable), reduces disclosure and governance compliance, limits government intervention, and simplifies management and winding-up. Audit and other statutory requirements for the private form apply only when specific financial or contribution thresholds are crossed; the precise motive for conversion must be confirmed from the company and relevant statutory notifications.
