Answer / rajeev d
A parent company is "the original flagship" which has given
rise to other businesses. If they retain more than 51%
shares then it is a parent company AND a holding company.
A holding company is one which holds 51% share. But it may
not be the parent company i.e. it may have got the shares
through acquisition.

Answer / giridhar babu
Holding Company - If a company holds substantial interest
in other company, then former company called as holding
company; Usually the interest is @51%.
Parent Company - If an existing company forms a new company
in which existing company holds maximum equity, the it can
be called as parent company.
In both the cases, holding interest is material to
understand Holding and Parent situation.
Once this holding and subsidiary concept emerged in India
after booming up Software Industry, the gap between Holding
and Parent has been minimized.
