Great question! Let's break down the relationship between Company A, B, and C based on the shareholding and family ties you described.
Given:
Company A: Major shareholder is Father (82%) + others.
Company B: Shareholding mainly by two sons and daughter-in-laws of the Father.
Company C: Shares held by the two brothers (the sons).
Transactions:
Company B purchases from Company A.
Company C purchases from Company B.
Analyzing the Relationships:
1. Company A and Company B
Family relationship: Father (major shareholder of A) and his sons + daughters-in-law (shareholders of B).
Control / Influence: Since the Father owns 82% in A, and his children/daughters-in-law own B, the family members have significant control or influence over both companies.
Conclusion:
They are related companies due to common control/influence through family members.
Under Accounting Standard (AS) 18 on Related Party Disclosures, relatives of key management personnel or major shareholders are considered related parties.
2. Company B and Company C
Both owned by the two brothers (sons).
This shows common control/influence.
Conclusion:
Company B and Company C are related companies as they have common major shareholders (brothers).
3. Company A and Company C
Father controls A; sons control C.
Since sons are close family members of Father, they are considered relatives.
This implies that Company A and Company C are also related companies due to family relationship and control/influence.
