(a) Any private company can be the Holding as well as subsidiary of any Public or private company.

(b) No, it is not possible. In case of public company there must be 7 shareholders.

If you want to create such private company, holding of a public company even in that case seven shareholders are required.

 Totally Agree

Our learned members are absolutely right.

First of all, YES a private company can be holding company of a public company.

As we know that public company is required to have at least 7 members. therefore that public company is also no exception. however in these cases almost all the share capital is held by Private company except 6 shares which are beneficially allotted in favour of its directors' relatives or any other key person.
