Dear Mam,

                    The Company is Listed Company.

Dear Sir,

There is a Company 'X' (Public Unlisted company) in India.

It holds shares 100% in the status of a holding company in a company abroad (subsidiary company), from the last one year.

A total of $8000 was wire transferred against incorporation expenses to a representative company abroad which included the investment amount of  $100.

The company 'X' has not filed Form ODI.

Request you to opine on the status of this transaction.

I am told that Form ODI is not required to be filed since there is no transaction and there is no Bank account for the susidiary company - abroad.

Regards

S. Anand
