Whether Employee purchasing shares of fellow subsidiary company is RPT?

Hello All,

 

There are 3 companies. A Ltd, B Ltd, and C Ltd.

B Ltd and C Ltd are subsidiaries of A Ltd.

If an employee of B Ltd buys shares of A Ltd or C Ltd, will this amount to a related party transaction?

Quick Summary
This discussion explores whether an employee of one subsidiary (B Ltd) purchasing shares in a fellow subsidiary (A Ltd or C Ltd) qualifies as a related party transaction (RPT). The consensus is that if the employee is not a Key Managerial Personnel (KMP) and the transaction isn't specifically listed under Section 188 of the Act, it likely doesn't constitute an RPT, even though accounting standards might consider fellow subsidiaries as related entities.

Employee doesn't come under related party definition as per Act. Unless he is employee in capacity of KMP. Further purchase of shares also doesn't come under RPT as given in Sec. 188 of the Act.
