Last year there were cases where the government decided to strile off a company or LLP due to non filing of the returns for many years. They have also suspended the directors/ partners of these companies. In such cases, the government reserves the rights to take actions on the directors/ promoters of the company, which might include fine and/ or jail term.

ProfessionalAny company registered in India must have at least one resident Indian as a direcors.
Yes, a subsidiary in India can have a director (Resident Indian or otherwise) common with the parent entity.
In case, the Indian entity is either billing or making a payment to the parent entity, Transfer Pricing (along with its compliances) will be applicable, since this will fall under related party transaction. This, however, will be the case even if there are no common directors, since the shares are held by the parent entity. There aren't any extra tax liability on the company for having common directors with the parent entity.

Initially, before the application was filed to Bharat petrol bunk, we made an MOU and got the franking done in sub-registrar office on 20Rs stamp papers with terms and conditions that she should pay me 51% of profit quartley.
After Bharat petroleum approved the bunk and given Letter of Intent, my relative insisted to create another MOU with 50:50 profit ratio to be shared quarterly. New MOU created with her husband as one of the witnesse and franking did in sub-registrar office on an Rs. 500 stamp paper. the initial MOU was deliberately taken by my relative. I have the Original copy of the 2nd MOU. I have given cheques for ~8 lac and cash about 2lac which is mentioned with full details in MOU 2. Now, the Petrol bunk is starting in next 15 days. My relative is saying that she will give interest and some more money as a premium for the financial support i have provided but will not give a profit at all.. and will not go by MOU. She says that she can give money to 20 lawyers but not allow profit sharing. Kindly advice how to approach on this, please? Kindly let me know what the kind Justice in this regard.

But from a perusal of the factual narration and assuming that there is an unequivocal obligation on the other party to share the profits in the MOU, appropriate proceedings before the Court of competent jurisdiction can be initiated claiming damages for breach of MOU/Contract by the other part in case the other part refuses to fulfil its payment obligations under the contract/MOU. The original/copies of the MOU’s, correspondence between the parties etc., would have to be perused for further assistance.
