Introduction
The word "merger" is not defined under the Companies Act of 1956 (the "Companies Act"), the Income Tax Act of 1961 (the "ITA"), or any other Indian statute. Simply stated, a merger is the merging of two or more companies into one. For merging, Indian laws use the word "amalgamation." The Income Tax Act of 1961 [section 2(1A)] defines amalgamation as the merger of one or more companies with another, or the merger of two or more companies to form a new company, in such a way that all assets and liabilities of the amalgamating companies become assets and liabilities of the amalgamated company, and shareholders owning at least nine-tenths of the shares in the amalgamating company.
