(a)The various criterion, and whether Hetal India or Chappel Inc, would   be considered as AE’s are discussed as under: –

-Since Hetal India or Chappel Inc, does not have more than 26% equity share capital of Chappel Inc. (24%) or vice versa (23%), the two parties would not be considered as AE’s;

-Since, Chappel Inc has advanced loan of 40% (200/500*100) % = 40%) of book value of total assets to Hetal India, the two parties would  not be considered as AE’s ;

-Since, Chappel Inc.  has guaranteed less than 10% of the total borrowings (i.e. 30/ 500 = 6%) of Hetal India, the two parties would  not be considered as AE’s ;

-Hetal India or Chappel Inc would not be treated as AE, as 90% or more of raw materials and consumables, required for the manufacture by ICO, are not supplied by Chappel Inc (Rs. 320/Rs. 400*100) = 80%. The total cost of raw material of Hetal India is 80% of Rs. 500 crores = Rs. 400 crores
