Rationale for the Scheme

Regulatory and Statutory Observations
Prior to sanctioning the scheme, the NCLT considered observations from the Regional Director (RD), Southern Region, the Official Liquidator (OL), and the Income Tax Department. The RD's report, filed on 2 March 2026, raised observations relating to the appointed date, declaration of significant beneficial ownership, pending GST disputes, status of charges, and dividend declaration. The Petitioner Companies addressed these observations through a Joint Affidavit dated 10 March 2026.
A notable observation by the RD concerned the dividend of Rs. 100.27 Crores declared for FY 2024-25, which appeared disproportionate relative to the Profit Before Tax of Rs. 6.98 Crores for the same year and total income of Rs. 0.97 Crores. The Petitioners clarified that the dividend was declared from accumulated Reserves and Surplus. The NCLT observed that the total Reserves and Surplus (including General Reserves, Securities Premium, and Retained Earnings) as of FY 2023-2024 amounted to Rs. 134.17 Crores, and upon adding profits for FY 2024-2025, the total amount available for distribution stood at Rs. 157.35 Crores, with balance reserves of Rs. 57.08 Crores post dividend declaration. The Statutory Auditor certified the dividend declaration as compliant with Section 123 of the Companies Act, 2013.
