25 August 2015 Dear Sir,

My company(A.Pvt.ltd.) holder of Equity shares of another company(B.Pvt.ltd.)and now A. Pvt.ltd want to nominate C. Pvt. ltd. as nominee for the share held by them

IS it possible????
as per rules only person can be nominated so, here person mean what???

Any holder of securities of a company may, at any time, nominate, in Form No. SH.13, any person as his
nominee in whom the securities shall vest in the event of his death.

25 August 2015 Nomination has two meanings for the purpose of Companies Act.
1. Section 72 - In case of Death
This section applies only to Individuals (human beings) because only human beings can die. A Company can not die. Hence, your case is not falling under this provision.

2. Section 187 - Investment to be held in its own name
This section applies only to a company. Actually, this is restrictive provision which says that a company can hold property/securities only in its own name and not otherwise.

There is one more Section 89 which mandates to file Declaration if a person is holding shares on behalf of Beneficial Owner. This applies to every person.

Considering above, A Pvt Ltd can not nominate C Pvt Ltd, unless you are qualifying for first proviso of Section 187(1) of Companies Act.

I hope this clears your doubt. Let me know if still have any doubts.

Thanks
