Under Ind AS 110, a parent and its fellow subsidiary together hold voting rights in an investee. Parent holds 30%; fellow subsidiary holds 30%. If the parent has the ability to direct the fellow subsidiary's voting behaviour, then under the DE-FACTO AGENT framework:
AParent effectively controls 60% of the voting rights (30% own + 30% via de-facto agent) and may have power over the investee
BNeither party has power — split voting requires unanimous consent
CParent has joint control with the fellow subsidiary at 30% + 30%
DParent controls only 30% — de-facto agent rights are not aggregated for control
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Parent effectively controls 60% of the voting rights (30% own + 30% via de-facto agent) and may have power over the investee
Para B73-B74 + Example 5 — when a fellow subsidiary acts as the parent's de-facto agent (parent can direct its voting), the parent considers the de-facto agent's voting rights AS IF held directly. 30% + 30% = 60% effective control, potentially establishing power. The de-facto agent framework is about effective combined rights — but the parent must still demonstrate exposure to variable returns and the ability to use power.
