Sponsored by Anand and AnandIndia has taken a significant step towards simplifying its corporate consolidation framework with the codification of fast-track mergers under the Companies Act, 2013. Governed by Section 233 and read with Rules 25 and 25A of the Companies (Compromises, Arrangements and Amalgamations) Rules, 2016 (as amended), this mechanism enables a select category of companies to bypass the otherwise lengthy and complex National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) process. In parallel, Section 234 of the Companies Act, 2013 facilitates cross-border mergers involving Indian and foreign companies, subject to regulatory approvals—most notably from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). With recent regulatory reforms, India is positioning itself as a favourable jurisdiction for inbound mergers, including the increasingly relevant concept of reverse flipping—the relocation of company domiciles from foreign countries back to India.
