WHO IS SAID TO BE HAVING SUBSTANTIAL INTEREST IN A COMPANY

This has been defined in Income tax act and not in companies act so far I know.

As per income tax act

           An individual is deemed to  have substantial interest if he individually or along with his relatives beneficially hold equity shares  carrying not less than 20% of the voting rights at any time during the previous year.  

For this purpose relatives means husband, wife, brother, or sister or any lineal ascendant or descendent of that individual.

th % of shares to be held in order to be substantially interested stands changed to 10%

u/s 2(32) of income tax act

is substantial interest for non corporate entities is increase to 40%

please clarify

In the case of a company : If an individual beneficially hols ( Individually or along with his relatives) 20% or more of equity shares in the company at any time during the previous year...
