AMALGAMATION

Direct Taxation

During amalgamation, C.A transferred from amalgamating co. to amalgamated co. is not treated as transfer(S.47(vi)) Shares of old co. taken back by amalgamating co. is also not treated as transfer(S.47(vii)) What about new shares given to SHs? What is the tax treatment if consideration for taking back old shares were not new shares of the co.?

New share are freshly issued - so its not a transfer. If say cash is paid, then it would be transfer.

My response was on specific to amalgamation. If new shares are issued to shareholders - not a transfer If cash is paid to acquire shares from shareholders - transfer. In case of new issue, there is no taxability other than those provided in Section 56.
