and physical performance of Central Public Sector Enterprises in the country.
The Public Enterprises Survey covers the CPSE which have been established
either as government companies under the Companies Act or as statutory
corporations. The Survey, moreover, covers only those government companies
in which Central government's share in paid up capital is more than fifty per
cent. This does not, however, include public sector commercial banks and public
sector insurance companies.
The Public Sector Enterprises are categorized into four schedules namely 'A',
'B', 'C', & 'D'. The categorization of CPSEs has implications mainly for
organizational structure and salary of Board level incumbents of concerned
CPSE. It also plays a role in grant of autonomy to the Boards of CPSEs under
'Ratna' scheme.
