Section 187 of the Act requires companies to hold ‘investments’ in its own name. I

n this regard Section 187 (1) of the Act reads as below:

‘All investments made or held by a company in any property, security or other asset shall be made and held by it in its own name:’

So section 187(2) provides exeption from above rule of holding investments in its own name in the given situations which you had mentioned above.
