28 June 2010 ‘X’ is a fully subsidiary public limited company. ‘Y’ is the holding public limited company. Than in such situation, in subsidiary company there is only one shareholder named ‘Y’. Isn’t is violation of the provision specifying that there must be seven (7) members in any public limited company?

28 June 2010 There is a clear cut violation in the subsidiary company.

There must be 6 other members in the subsidiary company to make it minimum 7.

01 July 2010 No need to intimate anyone. ROC will automatically take action when such company file its annual return mentioning only 1 shareholder.
