Pledge of shares of joint ventures and wholly owned subsidiaries permitted as security to obtain financing from Indian financial institutions.

Regulation 17 allowed an Indian party to pledge shares held in a joint venture or wholly owned subsidiary outside India as security to obtain fund based or non fund based facilities for itself or for the joint venture or subsidiary, in favour of an authorised dealer or a public financial institution in India; the provision has since been superseded by a later notification.
