Mergers & Amalgamations under Companies Act
In today’s dynamic corporate environment, mergers and amalgamations (M&A) are not just business strategies but also survival mechanisms. Companies often pursue M&A to achieve synergies, expand market share, restructure operations, or achieve tax and operational efficiency. Under the Companies Act, 2013, particularly Sections 230–232, mergers and amalgamations are regulated with an emphasis on transparency, creditor protection, and shareholder approval. However, the process is highly technical, requiring drafting of schemes, regulatory approvals, NCLT filings, and compliance with SEBI and FEMA regulations (where applicable). At Dikshant Malhotra & Associates, we assist companies in navigating the entire M&A process with precision, ensuring legal compliance, strategic structuring, and smooth execution.Benefits of Mergers & Amalgamations
