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.

For holding company the company must hold 20% of share capital of it's subsidiary company
If a company holds more than 50% of equity shares of other company then controlling company is called holding company
If such preference shares get voting rights,due to non payment of dividend (like cumulative ) then company will be considered as subsidiary
