    • Yes, BEN-2 is applicable to Indian subsidiaries of foreign holding companies. Any company incorporated in India is required to comply with the provisions of the Companies Act, including those related to the disclosure of significant beneficial ownership. Therefore, if a foreign holding company holds 10% or more of the shares of an Indian subsidiary, the Indian subsidiary is required to identify and disclose its significant beneficial owners through the BEN-2 form.

      Yes, BEN-2 is applicable to B Limited India since B Limited UK holds 99% shares in the company and the shareholder of B Limited UK is an individual. As per the Companies Act 2013, any individual who holds more than 25% of the shares or has the right to exercise control over the affairs of the company is considered a significant beneficial owner (SBO) and needs to be declared in the BEN-2 form. Therefore, in this case, the individual shareholder of B Limited UK would need to be declared as an SBO in the BEN-2 form of B Limited India.
