Fast Track Merger Services

What is a Fast Track Merger?

A Fast Track Merger is a simplified merger process available to:

• Small companies

• Holding and wholly-owned subsidiary companies

• Certain eligible start-ups

Instead of seeking approval from the Tribunal, the merger is approved by:

• Registrar of Companies

• Official Liquidator

• Central Government (through Regional Director)

This makes the process faster, cost-effective, and less complex.

When Should You Consider a Fast Track Merger?

• Internal group restructuring

• Consolidation of holding and subsidiary

• Simplifying corporate structure

• Tax-efficient reorganization

• Eliminating dormant entities

• Operational streamlining

If eligibility criteria are met, this route can significantly reduce procedural delays.

Companies generally eligible include:

• Two or more small companies

• Holding company and wholly-owned subsidiary

• Start-ups meeting prescribed conditions

Compliance requirements under the
Companies Act 2013
must be satisfied before proceeding.
