Solution

The given statement is False.

Reasons:

A Public Limited Company must have a minimum of seven members, not two.

This is clearly stated under the Companies Act, 2013, which defines that: “A public company must have a minimum of 7 members and can have unlimited maximum members.”

Having only two members applies to a Private Limited Company, not a public one.
