A UK Ltd (Registered in the UK) was holding 25% holding in B Ltd (registered in India).
Now ownership of A UK Ltd was transferred to C UK Ltd.
Therefore there is an indirect change of beneficiary ownership of B Ltd ( registered in India)
Is there any FEMA filing requirement in RBI by B Ltd or A UK Ltd?

Hi,
In case of a wholly owned subsidiary, 1 share is held by an individual member who is the registered owner of this share. This 1 share is to be transferred to another person, who is a director in the WOS. We would take Form SH4 and get it signed by the transferor and transferee and also have the board resolution passed to approve the transfer. Please let me know if there is any other compliance to be done with regard to the above. We will take declarations as required u/s89 after the transfer is done.

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 Experts,
Many professionals registers housing society / owners association as section 8 company.
Which type of company is advisable to register ? Company ltd by shares or guarantee ?
Need your valuable inputs.
In case of change of shareholding of the beneficial owner, is it possible to file subsequent BEN-2 of same company?
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?? '
