Merger and amalgamation (‘M&A’) deals are increasing in India. Increase in competition has made organizations merger themselves to reap
the benefits of a large-sized company. To understand this article, first one need to know the terms – merger, amalgamation, transferor
company and transferee company. The term merger and amalgamation has not been defined under the Act. M&A is often known to be a
single terminology. However, there is a thin difference between the two. According to dictionary meaning, ‘Merger’ is the fusion of two or
more enterprises, whereby the identity of one or more is lost resulting in a single enterprise whereas ‘Amalgamation’ signifies the blending of
two or more undertaking into one undertaking, blending enterprises loses its identity forming themselves into a separate legal identity. There
may be amalgamation by the transfer of two or more undertaking to a new or existing company. ‘Transferor company’ means the company
which is merging also known as amalgamating company in case of amalgamation and ‘transferee company’ is the company which is formed
after merger or amalgamation also known as amalgamated company in case of amalgamation.

Now-a-days, organizations seeking for M&A outsource this complex task to consultants which have build dedicated team of experienced
professionals to provide valuable insights and innovative solutions for clients to maximize their business and investment value enabling the
organization to focus on business as usual.

There are numerous motives behind M&A of the company like for economies of scale, increasing the market share or for availing tax
benefits.
The some of the recent M&A deals that are happening or happened in market are enumerated below:

Microsoft announced in September 2013 to acquire Nokia’s phone business for $ 7.2 billion.

Tech Mahindra finally acquired & absorbed Satyam Mahindra in 2013 and now set its sights on becoming $5 billion company by 2015.

Tata Metaliks to amalgamate with Tata Steel as per business line news on 11 April, 2013. Board of directors of both the companies had
approved amalgamation w.e.f April 1, 2013.
Several provisions in various Acts deals with M&A. The same are enumerated as follows:

Companies Act, 2013

Companies Bill, 2013 has received presidential assent on 30 August, 2013. With this move, India has got a new company law i.e.

Amalgamation of foreign companies under section 234 of the Act.

Generally, memorandum of association of both the companies should be examined to check about the availability of companies power to
amalgamate clause. Then, stock exchanges of both merging and merged company should be informed about the merger proposal. Draft
merger proposal to be approved by board of directors, once the same is approved by respective boards, each company shall make an
application to the high court of the state in which registered office is situated in Form No. 36 so that companies can follow the further
procedure as per section 230 to 234 of the Companies Act, 2013 (earlier section 390 to section 396A of the Companies Act, 1956).

If a private company acquires 100% shares of another private company and in lieu of that issues it’s shares to shareholder of that company then will that
transaction be covered under section 2(1B) and u/s 47(vi) of IT Act.
