Note: I can't answer for India, but in general:

  • Limited Ltd Corporation or Corp Incorporated Inc. etc. imply a private limited company
  • PLC = Public Limited Company (UK/Europe) = company issuing shares to the public on a stock exchange.
  • In North America, this private/public distinction in naming (and the PLC term ) aren't used.

The rules in Canada are that you have to use the exact form you registered the company with. So if I registered as ACME Inc. I can't use ACME Ltd. or even ACME Incorporated.

The meanings of Limited, Ltd, Inc., Incorporated, Corporation, Corp., are (in Canada) identical.

Usual not-a-lawyer / not-legal-advice restrictions apply.
