The Companies Act, 2013, limits the number of intermediary companies through which investments can be made in a company. Similarly, the act limits the number of layers of subsidiaries a company can have. The bill removes these limits.
The act also requires an individual who has a beneficial interest in the shares of a company to disclose these.
