03 January 2011 As far as I know, Section 372A which specifies inter-corporate investment limits is not applicable when the holding company acquires securities of its wholly owned subsidiary. Similarly Section 295 whereby CG approval is required for any loans to directors or related parties is not applicable in respect of loan or guarantee given or security provided to its wholly owned subdiary.

As regards floating a new company with same MD / director, there is no restriction, however subject to the condition that the total number of directorship does not exceed the limits (15) specified in Section 275 and in case of MD does not exceed the limit (2) specified in Section 316.
