To determine if Company B is an associate company of Company A, let's analyze the situation based on the Companies Act, 2013.

 Definition of Associate Company As per Section 2(6) of the Companies Act, 2013, an "associate company" means a company in which another company has a significant influence, but which is not a subsidiary company of the company having such influence.

Significant Influence Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee company, but it's not control or joint control over those policies.

Analysis In your scenario: -

Company A has invested up to 49% of the share capital in Company B. - Company A doesn't have any rights to appoint or choose directors and KMP. -

Company A doesn't have any operational rights. - Company A is entitled to get back the investment value at face value after the lock-in period.

Conclusion Based on the given information, it seems unlikely that Company B would be considered an associate company of Company A.

Here's why: - Company A lacks significant influence over Company B's financial and operating policies, as it doesn't have the power to appoint directors or participate in operational decisions. - 

The entitlement to get back the investment value at face value after the lock-in period might suggest a more investor-like relationship rather than a significant influence. 

However, a detailed analysis of the agreement and the specific circumstances would be necessary to make a definitive determination.
