If a company holds 20% equity share capital and 32% preference share capital in another company then can we say that first company is holding company?

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the definition of a holding company. Generally, a company is considered a holding company if it owns more than 50% of the equity shares of another company, thereby controlling it. However, the nature of preference shares, particularly if they grant voting rights due to dividend non-payment, can also influence whether a company is deemed a subsidiary.
