“Associate Company”, in relation to another Company, means a company in which another company has a significant influence, but which is not a subsidiary company of the company having such influence and includes a joint venture company.
For the purpose of Section 2(6) of the Companies Act, 2013, explanation provided is as below:
- The expression “significant influence” means control of at least twenty percent of total voting power, or control of or participation in business decisions under an Agreement.
- The expression “joint venture” means a joint Agreement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangement.
