Dear Mr. Vivek
 
Section 4 of the Companies Act, 1956 dealing with meaning of holding company and subsidiary company. Section 4(b)(ii) says where the first mentioned company (A Ltd.) hold more than 50% of its equity share capital of other company (B Ltd) then company B ltd. will be treated as subsidiary of A. Ltd.
 
In your case company hold only 50% of the share capital of company B Ltd., so it will not be treated as subsidiary company.

In this case the Shareholding clause is not applicable. But We have to check the no. of directors in each company, as the directors relationship is also one of the important factor for considering the Holding and Subsidiary Company relation.

 

If you need further clarification than contact me.
