When filing Form BEN-2 for our director, the SBO number is already displayed. I raised a ticket to obtain the list but received a response stating that the details are confidential and cannot be disclosed. Is there an alternative method, such as using the Director Identification Number (DIN), to obtain the list of companies associated with it?

Dear Learned Members,
Please advise on the below query relating to significant beneficial owners:
‘A’ was the Significant Beneficial Owner in the reporting company by virtue of shareholding in the member company and BEN2 was filed in respect of him
Now A has sold all his shareholding in the member company due to which he ceases to be shareholder in the member company. He has given intimation to the reporting company regarding his ceasing to be shareholder in the member company. Member company’s shareholding in the reporting company has not changed.
Query 1 ) How his status will be updated by reporting company now by BEN2?
Query 2 ) Whether 0 % shareholding be filled in BEN2?
Dear All,
Anyone have a format of ultimate beneficial owner under SBO rules ?
Kindly share.
Dear friend,
I need a clarification on the following
In a pvt Ltd co, there were 2 shareholders - one shareholder was a body corporate and another an individual.
Pvt Ltd co was the holding co
There after this pvt Ltd co transferred it's shares to another pvt Ltd co and the shares held by the individual were stated to be held by the individual as regd holder of those shares and the beneficial interest being with the holding co so as to make it a 100% subsidiary . This happened under the 1956 Act.
Now the shares held by the regd holder is also to be recorded as shares held by the beneficial owner. How is it to be done? Will it amount to share transfer or no, has share transfer duty to be paid?
Pl share your views on this. It is a bit urgent please.
Regards,
In case of change of shareholding of the beneficial owner, is it possible to file subsequent BEN-2 of same company?
Dear members
for filing the BEN 2 relating to " change in significant beneficial interest" then whether we have to fill only the changes in the shareholding or we have to give the complete data as we had given in the BEN 2 filed originally i.e. "for declaration of Significant Beneficial Ownership under Section 90".
pls confirm.
As per sec-90 significant beneficial owner needs to give the declaration in FORM-BEN-1, who holds more than 10%. my company is a wholly owned subsidiary co. of a foreign company and there is no such individual found who holds more than 10%, in such case senior managing official has to give the declaration. so my question is senior managing official of the reporting entity or the parent co. needs to give the declaration in FORM-BEN-1? Another ques of mine is that there is no such definition of senior managing official given in the section and the rules...so who will be treated as the senior managing official?? '
