These things can happen if proper procedures are followed and there are rules governing the transfer. Otherwise if this is done against the interests of the employee it can always be challenged in a court of law.

Kindly refer the manual of rules and regulations applicable to your organization.

Employees of subsidiary company can be deputed to principal concern with the consent of employees 

It depends on the internal policies of he said company. If arbitrary you can challenge the same before labour court

1) If parent company and subsidiary company has mutual agreement to transfer the employees from each other company than it's acceptable.

If the clause has been mentioned in the appointment letters or there is any agreement with the employees.

If clause has been mentioned in contract then it is possible to transfer the employees.

The subsidiary company management can take such step to transfer or depute the employee the parent company even if it hold share cannot take such steps. 

Mergers, Acquisitions are governed by the Companies Act. Such transfers are not illegal considering the welfare of employees.

Hi, 

It is based the agreement or article executed between the companies and it the same is allowing for the transfer, the transfer can be done. If there is not such clause, the deputation may be done and the companies may prepare and execute additional documents/agreements as per the need of hour and effective working of each other.   

Subsidiary company can question trasfer not the employee,

Transfer is not possible, but the subsidiary company may very well depute the employee to the parent company for any term.

Transfer of an employee from one company to another without any such rules or an understanding between both the companies and without any condtional offer to the employee can be termed as invalid and also illegal.

No forcible deputation also can be made.

1. As per the information mentioned in the present query, makes it clear that if the employee is on the roll of the subsidiary company then there should not be such transfer to the parent company.
2. But, yes it there has been an agreement between the parent and subsidiary company, and along with that you have also signed an agreement with the working company as clause mentioned therein then you can’t say no to it.
3. You should through your agreement if employment with the present working company and then go as per law to challenge the same if wish to.
