06 November 2012 A Ltd. an Indian co. is a 100% subsidiary of B Ltd. a listed Indian Co. B Ltd.sold the complete holdings in A ltd.to another Indian co. C Ltd. (not a listed Co.). now C Ltd. is 100% holding co. of A LTd. A ltd. has suffered losses during previous year. Whether Sec. 79 applicable in above situation or not? Can A Ltd. set off the losses of previous year?

22 November 2012 Please note that Section 79 is applicable only to a PRIVATE company.

Now the question is whether A Ltd is a private company or not?

Please answer the question and then I will reply accordingly.

28 November 2012 A LTD IS A PUBLIC LTD. CO. (NOT A GOVT. CO. OR SEC. 25 CO.)

28 November 2012 As I said above, Section 79 is applicable ONLY to a PRIVATE company.

It is NOT applicable to a public company.

Since A Ltd. is a PUBLIC company Section 79 is NOT applicable and loss will be allowed to be set off/carried forward.

28 November 2012 SEC 79 IS APPLICABLE NOT APPLICABLE TO COMPANY IN WHICH PUBLIC ARE SUBSTANTIALLY INTERESTED AND NOT A PUBLIC CO.
