Legal entity is a status of a company where the law sees the biz as separate and distinct from the owners. They enjoy legal personality. The business is a corporate citizen on its own and activities are carried out under its own name. It can sue or be sued under it's own name and there's nothing to do with the owners.

A company incorporated under Indian Companies Act, is separate from the persons/individuals who are contributing the capital by way of share capital.

The company so incorporated acts independantly.

This is not like a proprietory or partnership firm where the proprietor/partner/s demise , the establishment also not there to function.
