Yes, because this section is applicable on public co. . and as per 3 (iv) of conpanies act 1956, private co. which is subsidiary of public co. is public co.

I believe 292-A is not applicable to a private limited company. True that as per 3(i)(iv) a private company which is a subsidiary of a public company is a public company (amended by companies amendment act 2000) however, its only a deeming fiction. Had it been the intention of the legislators to apply the provisions to such private companies the same would have been expressly said as in sections 293, 300, 310, 311, 316 etc. Such private limited companies are construed as public companies only for certain express purposes and not for all intents. A private limited does not lose its character by being a subsidiary of a public company. Ipso facto constructive provisions have to be understood in the sense expressly conveyed thus and no far..

i completely agree with Mr. Srivathsan. Sec. 292 A expressly puts the obligation on Pub. Cos. only and is silent about private Cos. which are subsidiary of Pub. Cos. so Pvt. cos. need not comply with this section..

Whether corporate governance is applicable to a listed company where the paid up capital is less than Rs. 5 crores

My humble submission is if a Private Company is subsidiary of a Public Company, it is a public company under Section 3 (1) (iv). Then, Sec, 292A prima facie becomes applicable. .
