Cross holding - cfs

AS 809 views 1 replies

As per the section 19 of the Companies Act 2013, no company shall, either by itself or through its nominees, hold any shares in its holding company and no holding company shall allot or transfer its shares to any of its subsidiary companies. Any such allotment or transfer of shares of a company to its subsidiary company shall be void.

Keeping in the view above provision of the Companies Act, is there any chances of question may arise on cross holding under CFS topic ? because law does not permit cross holding.

This provision was there in the earlier act as well i.e 1956 companies act. however , then cross held companies prior to companies act 1956 could continue, provided cross held shares didn't enjoy voting. The status quo is maintained for those companies even now in 2013 act .Thus cross holding questions shall most likely be there as they can still exist.
