Internal Reconstruction

Internal reconstruction allows a company to write off accumulated losses and fictitious assets by reducing its capital without liquidating. This process involves adjusting the claims of shareholders and creditors, and it can include methods such as share capital reduction and compromises as per the Companies Act, 2013. The company continues its operations with a restructured capital framework, and specific legal procedures must be followed for the reconstruction to be valid.

CHA​PTER​-​3 ​INTERNAL

RECONSTRUCTION

In ​case ​of ​internal ​reconstruction​, ​the company ​will ​not ​be


liquidated​, ​but ​accumulated ​losses ​and fictitious ​assets ​will ​be ​written ​off
by reducing ​the ​capital ​of ​the company​. ​Internal reconstruction ​and
capital ​reduction ​mean ​the ​same​. ​The ​claims ​of shareholders
and ​sometimes ​even ​of ​creditors ​are ​suitably ​adjusted to ​write
off ​accumulated ​losses​, ​fictitious assets​. ​No ​new ​company ​is
formed ​and ​the ​old ​company ​with ​its ​reconstituted ​capital
structure ​continues ​to ​carry ​on business​. ​If ​the ​claims of the ​creditors ​and
debenture ​holders ​are also reduced​, ​then ​it ​is ​more appropriate ​to
call ​it ​as ​“​Reorganisation​'​.
In ​the ​Internal ​Reconstruction​, ​the following ​methods are
generally ​Employed​. 1 ​ ​. ​Alternation of ​share ​capital ​section ​64 of
the companies ​Act​, ​2013​. ​2​. ​Valuation ​of ​shareholders ​Right as
