A company is fully owned by central government but not listed. 

As per Section 177 of CA,2013 read with rule 6, requires a public co. with turnover > 100 crores to form a audit committee.

Now, will the fully owned Govt company falls under rule 6 and shall it form a audit committee?

Will a Government company come under a public company?
