Yes, in such a case registration with bank would be required. Infact, each company of the group that are core investment company will be treated as CIC-ND-SI, provided that they have access to public funds.
What all items can be included in remaining 10% of the net assets outside the group?
The remaining 10% can either be real estate or any other fixed assets which are necessary for the proper functioning of the company, but it can not involve other financial investments or loans in companies which are not in group.
Is there any provision to use statutory assets that are not dated 31st March?
While any such account will be taken in consideration keeping the view of the fact that changes do happen on the balance sheet even after 31st March.
