Question 1 : If I have to take out the financial statements of a company of a listed and unlisted company, how will I do that ?

Answer 1 : For the listed company, it is easy as we can take out the financial statement from it's website as, as per the law of the land India and others too a listed company have to disclose certain information publicly which includes Financials and the disclose it with the help of their wesbite. 

While we can also take financial statements and other financial or legal information from NSE and BSE. If we change the location from India to France we can take it from EURONEXT. 

For an unlisted company either we can ask the company directly for the information or see the news about the company which discloses few of the major information like Revenue, PAT and Networth about the company. Or alternatively we can go to MCA pay for the information and get the same for ourselves.
