Corporate restructuring includes several types: Mergers (two companies combining into one), Acquisitions (one company purchasing another), Demergers (splitting one company into separate entities), Slump Sale (transfer of a business undertaking as a going concern), Scheme of Arrangement (court-approved restructuring), and Capital Restructuring (changes in share capital structure including buybacks and reduction of capital).
The National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) approval process involves filing the scheme of arrangement, obtaining directions for convening shareholder and creditor meetings, holding meetings and obtaining requisite approvals (75% by value), filing the petition with NCLT along with meeting reports, hearing before NCLT, and finally obtaining the order sanctioning the scheme. The entire process typically takes 6-12 months depending on complexity.

Tax implications vary by restructuring type. Mergers and demergers can be tax-neutral if they comply with Section 2(1B) and Section 2(19AA) of the Income Tax Act respectively. Slump sales are taxed as capital gains on the difference between consideration and net worth. Acquisitions may trigger stamp duty, capital gains, and GST implications. Proper structuring can help minimize tax outflows and avail available exemptions.
In mergers and demergers, employees typically continue with the successor company on the same terms and conditions without break in service. Their gratuity, provident fund, and other benefits are transferred or protected under the scheme. For acquisitions and slump sales, employment contracts may need to be novated. We ensure employee interests are adequately protected in all restructuring schemes to maintain workforce morale and ensure smooth transition.
