Whether Employee purchasing shares of fellow subsidiary company is RPT?

Hello All,

There are 3 companies. A Ltd, B Ltd, and C Ltd.

B Ltd and C Ltd are subsidiaries of A Ltd.

If an employee of B Ltd buys shares of A Ltd or C Ltd, will this amount to a related party transaction?

Employee doesn't come under related party definition as per Act. Unless he is employee in capacity of KMP. Further purchase of shares also doesn't come under RPT as given in Sec. 188 of the Act.
