DEFINE PUBLIC SECTOR UNDERTAKING

Is TCS(TATA CONSULTANCY SEVICES) a public sector undertaking?

The difference between a PSU and Public Sector Enterprise is that in PSU government holds 51% or more shares whereas in PSE, government holds 100% shares. A PSE is fully owned by the government.

Whether TCS is Central Govt. enterprise. What is Nuclear Power of India Ltd. Please clarify.

In some sign board, they are writing as " A Govt. of India Undertaking" whereas in some other places they mention " A Govt. of India Enterprise". Why so ?

Simple understanding between undertaking and enterprises is that ,undertaking refers to activity undertake by government of India ,like BSNL,MTNL,VSNL in which government owns more than 51% holding by its department like Department of Telecommunication, It can also be termed as PSU,PSE,CPSE ,as India is federalism country with dual structure of government any central or state can hold shares by appointing their nominee,as the majority of shares held by govt so for any decision required approval of cabinet ..In General Enterprise may be HPCL,IOCL, which are involved in manufacturing activities ,they are also governed by their respective ministry ,as PSU /CPSE are company limited by shares registered under the law of land ,so all the provisions of companies act,2013,Sebi laws(if listed ),applied and if govt find that without any controlling shares it's enterprise can do better business or for its long term sustainability it comes with disinvestment or merger plans ,Generally disinvestment for getting the same into private hands while merger for write off the debt ..in extreme cases it may also be wound up ..Normally in recent times due to lack of market approach by psu for share capital it need to rely on hefty debts ..which creates bankruptcy of these PSU so as to reduce it govt disinvest or merge it with other profit making psu ..hope it clears nos

Any one please give brief difference between psu and pse?

CPSEs are those enterprises which have been established/founded by the Govt. from its own exchequer whereas PSUs are those entity which were initially not owned by Govt. but subsequently acquired under its control.

TATA Consultancy Services Limited is an Indian multinational information technology service and consulting company with headquartered in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. It is a subsidiary of Tata Group ( Source - Wikipedia )

It is types Public because it's shares are listed in Stock Exchanges.

Unless an entity is not owned 51% in stake by Govt(Central or Central and State combined) it is not a State Owned Enterprise or PSU

TCS may take projects from Govt, provide it's services to Govt. So, on ground one may ind employees of TCS in Govt offices but these employees are paid by TCS and not govt. they are not govt employees.
