Understanding PSU Government Shareholding
A Public Sector Undertaking (PSU) is defined by the level of ownership held by government entities. This ownership is specifically measured by the percentage of the company's paid-up share capital.
Determining PSU Status
For an entity to be classified as a PSU, the combined shareholding of:
- The Central Government
- Any State Government
- Or a combination of the Central Government and one or more State Governments
in its paid-up share capital must meet a minimum threshold.
Minimum Ownership Threshold
The required minimum percentage of paid-up share capital held by the government (or governments) is 51% or more.
Therefore, if the government's stake is 51% or greater, the company qualifies as a Public Sector Undertaking.
