Please resolve it :

A Pvt. Ltd. company has its share capital of Rs. 100000/- subscribed & paid by 2 directors.

Now company wants to issue further capital of Rs. 4900000/- to another Company say B Ltd ( foreign company )

Both directors are also having directorship & shareholding in B Pvt. Ltd. After issuing of further capital to B Ltd.

The Shareholding pattern will be :

B Ltd. 98%

1st Director 1%

2nd Director 1 %
Can A pvt. Ltd. be called as WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARY of B Ltd. Will it make any difference in Answer, if Further Capital will be Rs. 9900000/-

Can these 2 directors be act as nominee shareholders having 1% or 0.5% shareholding.

Please revert back ASAP on issues & procedures related to this.

With Regards

No A Pvt Ltd can not be held as WOS of B Ltd(in both cases).

by making 2 directors beneficial owner (nominee shareholder) for 10,000 shares (assumed FV & pd up value Rs.10) u need to file e-form 22B under section 187C, company will become WOS of B Ltd

views from members / seniors solicited.

I may not agree.

If Directors held shares in individual capacity then A will not be treated as Wholly owned Subsidiary.

However if they hold shares as a Nominees than yes A will be wholly owened Subsidiary of B.

THere will be no Diff u issue 49 lacs or 99 lacs shares
