Dear All,

Can any one pl let me know if an Indian holding company is permitted to provide corporate guarantee to its Indian subsidiary company towards bank loan borrowed by the subsidiary company.

Note:

a. the companies have common directors and shareholders.
b. it is not a 100% subsidiary company

Ye it can and giving of guarantee does not fall under  section 188, but the loan taken by subsidiary should be utilized towards its principal business activities, refer rule 10 of Meeting of board and its powers rules.

thank you all for your valuable suggestions. on reading rule 10 of Companies (Meetings of Board and its Powers) Rules, 2014 i have understood that there is a exemption provided for holding and subsidiary company if the loan borrowed or the guarantee provided is utilized by the subsidiary company for its principle business activities.
