Authority: National Company Law Tribunal, Mumbai Court-IV
Order Date: 22.06.2026
Case Overview
The National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) Mumbai heard an application (CA(CAA)-60/MB/2026) filed on 03.04.2026 under Sections 230 to 232 of the Companies Act, 2013. The application sought directions for convening meetings or dispensation of meetings of shareholders and creditors regarding a Scheme of Merger by Amalgamation of four transferor companies with one transferee company, all being part of the same group.
The transferor companies are: IMK Agro-Tech Properties Private Limited (builders & contractors), IMK Hospitality Private Limited (hospitality/hotels/motels), IMK Web-Tech Private Limited (web technologies), and IMK Agro Developers Private Limited (builders & contractors). The transferee company is Township Real Estate Developers (India) Private Limited (builders & contractors).
The Board of Directors of all applicant companies approved the scheme in their respective meetings held on 10.03.2026, with the appointed date fixed as 01.04.2025. The rationale for the amalgamation includes achieving unified management, operational efficiency, focused execution of real estate projects, leveraging combined assets, simplifying the group structure, reducing compliance costs, and creating enhanced shareholder value without adverse impact on creditors.
The consideration structure involves the transferee company issuing shares to shareholders of transferor companies as follows: 16 equity shares for every 10,000 shares of Transferor-1; 2 equity shares for every 10,000 shares of Transferor-2; 2,998 equity shares for every 10,000 shares of Transferor-3; and 17 equity shares for every 10,000 shares of Transferor-4.
Final Outcome
The NCLT allowed the application and directed the applicant companies to serve notices along with a copy of the scheme to various regulatory authorities including the Regional Director, Registrar of Companies, Income Tax authorities, GST authorities, Official Liquidator, and any other sectoral regulators. The notices must be served via speed post and email with a statement that if no response is received within 30 days, it will be presumed there are no objections.
The tribunal also directed the applicant company to file details of corporate guarantees, performance guarantees, other contingent liabilities, letters of credit sanctioned and utilized, and margin money details. The company must host the notice and scheme on its website and file an affidavit of service and compliance report within 10 working days after serving notices to all authorities. The order was pronounced by the bench comprising Shri Anil Raj Chellan (Member Technical) and Shri K.R. Saji Kumar (Member Judicial).
