It refers to having some interest in any property, goods including securities, or favorable interest may be referred to a “profit, benefit or advantage panning out from a contract, or the ownership of an estate as distinct from the legal possession or control.” ## **Difference between Registered Owner & Beneficial Owner as per Companies Act, 2013 (‘Act, 2013’)** Under the Companies Act, 2013 (‘Act, 2013’)[1](#b212a9c0-efbc-481a-9165-ef536055e666), the **Registered Owner** refers to the person whose name is entered in the register of members or records of the company as the legal owner of the shares. This individual holds the title and has the right to vote and receive dividends. In contrast, the **Beneficial Owner** is the person who ultimately enjoys the benefits of ownership, such as dividends or control, even though the shares are registered in another person’s name.

Beneficial Owner: Unveiling Types of Ownership")The basic intent behind the above section is to reveal the identity of the beneficial owner who is unknown to the company. ### **Significant Beneficial Owner (SBO)** Section 90 of the Act, 2013 has the following features in broad: - SBO has been defined; - Every individual who is a significant beneficial owner in the reporting company shall file a declaration to the Company in form no. BEN-1; - Upon receipt of Declaration in the manner specified above, the reporting Company shall file a return of SBO in form BEN-2 with the Registrar of Companies (ROC); - Register in form no. BEN-3 is to be kept for recording the declarations given under this section; - Power of companies to seek information from members, believed to be beneficial owners, in form no. BEN-4; - Power of companies to approach the Tribunal in case of non-receipt or inadequate response from the members and non-members; and - Serious penal provisions for non-compliances with the provision of the said section. Section 89 and 90 work in two different fields altogether. While section 89 talks about disclosure of nominal and beneficial interest thereby providing duality / dichotomy of ownership, section 90 indicates the magnitude of holding. Further, section 89 does not require the disclosure only from individuals but bodies corporate as well. The same is not the case with section 90 which aims at revealing the individuals as significant beneficial owner(s). ### **Section 187 of the Act, 2013** **Applicable****Brief description****For Companies**The proviso to sub-section (1) grants exemption to holding companies in case of holding shares of its subsidiary companies. The exemption allows holding companies to appoint nominees for itself to hold shares in the subsidiary/wholly-owned subsidiary companies in order to meet the statutory minimum limit of members in a company.![Registered Owner Vs.

Beneficial Owner: Types of Company Ownership 1. #### What is meant by "beneficial ownership" in general terms? Beneficial ownership refers to the actual enjoyment or advantage derived from an asset or security, even if the person’s name is not formally recorded as the owner. It represents the right to enjoy the benefits of ownership such as dividends, voting rights, or other entitlements, irrespective of who is legally registered as the holder. 2. #### Who is considered a "registered owner" under the Companies Act, 2013? A registered owner is the person whose name is entered in the Register of Members of a company as the holder of shares. However, they may not necessarily be the person who holds the beneficial interest in those shares. 3. #### Who is a "beneficial owner" as per the Companies Act, 2013? A beneficial owner is a person who, either alone or along with others, has the right to exercise rights attached to the shares (such as voting or receiving dividends), either directly or indirectly through any contract or arrangement, even though they are not named in the Register of Members. 4. #### When is disclosure of beneficial ownership required under the Companies Act? Disclosure is required under Section 89 of the Act when the registered and beneficial owners are different. Both parties must submit declarations to the company—Form MGT-4 by the registered owner and Form MGT-5 by the beneficial owner—within 30 days of acquiring or changing beneficial interest. 5. #### What is the role of the company after receiving the declarations under Section 89? Upon receipt of MGT-4 and MGT-5, the company must record these declarations in its Register of Members and file e-Form MGT-6 with the Registrar of Companies (ROC) within 30 days. 6. #### What is the significance of Section 90 regarding Significant Beneficial Owners (SBO)? Section 90 aims to identify individuals who hold significant beneficial ownership in a company. Such individuals must declare their interests through Form BEN-1. The company, in turn, must file Form BEN-2 with the ROC and maintain a register (Form BEN-3). Companies may also send Form BEN-4 to seek such information from suspected SBOs. 7. #### What is the key difference between Sections 89 and 90 of the Companies Act? Section 89 deals with the disclosure of beneficial interest in shares, including both individual and non-individual owners. Section 90 focuses specifically on identifying individuals holding significant beneficial ownership in a company. It is more comprehensive and involves stricter compliance requirements. 8. #### What are the implications of non-compliance with SBO disclosure requirements? Non-compliance with Section 90 can lead to serious legal consequences, including penalties and potential legal action by the Tribunal. The company is also empowered to take legal steps if it does not receive the necessary disclosures. 9. #### What is the role of Section 187 in the context of ownership and shareholding? Section 187 allows a holding company to hold shares of its wholly owned subsidiary in the name of nominees to meet the statutory minimum number of members required under the Companies Act. This ensures compliance while maintaining effective control over the subsidiary. 10. #### How are share certificates issued in cases involving beneficial owners? Typically, share certificates are issued in the name of the registered holder. If shares are held in a beneficial capacity by a trust, HUF, or partnership firm, their name may be included in brackets alongside the registered owner. In case of nominees for holding companies, certificates are issued in the nominee’s name but also mention the holding company’s name. 11. #### Why is it important to disclose beneficial ownership? The primary intent is to bring transparency in corporate ownership and prevent misuse of corporate structures. Disclosures help regulatory authorities identify actual owners and deter illicit activities like money laundering or proxy holdings. ###### About the Author ###### Share - Link copied to clipboard! https://treelife.in/compliance/registered-owner-vs-beneficial-owner-unveiling-types-of-ownership/ [ ![share-icon](https://treelife.in/wp-content/themes/treelife/assets/images/vector-black.svg) ](javascript:void(0)) - [ ![mdi_linkedin](https://treelife.in/wp-content/themes/treelife/assets/images/linkedin-black.svg) ](https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https%3A%2F%2Ftreelife.in%2Fcompliance%2Fregistered-owner-vs-beneficial-owner-unveiling-types-of-ownership%2F&title=Registered+Owner+Vs.+Beneficial+Owner%3A+Unveiling+Types+of+Ownership "Share on LinkedIn") - [ ![whatsap-share](https://treelife.in/wp-content/themes/treelife/assets/images/whatsap-black.svg) ](https://api.whatsapp.com/send?text=Registered+Owner+Vs.+Beneficial+Owner%3A+Unveiling+Types+of+Ownership+https%3A%2F%2Ftreelife.in%2Fcompliance%2Fregistered-owner-vs-beneficial-owner-unveiling-types-of-ownership%2F) - [ ![twitter-share](https://treelife.in/wp-content/themes/treelife/assets/images/twitter-black.svg) ](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftreelife.in%2Fcompliance%2Fregistered-owner-vs-beneficial-owner-unveiling-types-of-ownership%2F&text=Registered+Owner+Vs.+Beneficial+Owner%3A+Unveiling+Types+of+Ownership) - [ ![facebook-share](https://treelife.in/wp-content/themes/treelife/assets/images/facebook-black.svg) ](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftreelife.in%2Fcompliance%2Fregistered-owner-vs-beneficial-owner-unveiling-types-of-ownership%2F) ![Darshana Chauhan](https://cdn.treelife.in/2025/01/Darshana-Chauhan.webp) ##### Darshana Chauhan [ ![social-linkedin](https://treelife.in/wp-content/themes/treelife/assets/images/linkedin.svg) ](https://in.linkedin.com/in/darshana-chauhan) ###### Client Relationship Lead | darshana@treelife.in Drives client relationships across acquisitions, fundraising, and due diligence mandates.
