06 November 2012 Dear Akash,
The percentage of holding in the subsidiary is not menitoned and hence is assumed to be 100%.
The treatment on consolidation is as follows,
1. The amount of investment of S1 shall be netted off from preference shares and the securities premium account, hence the net impact shall be that the amount of investments shall be the amount appearing in the consolidated accounts.
2. The preference dividend shall be eliminated since the preference shares are held within the group. However the Dividend Distribution Tax on the same shall be shown as a tax expense, since the same is an outflow outside the group
