..... the aforesaid proposed Scheme are in compliance with Indian Accounting Standards ('Ind As') - 103 - Business Combinations as prescribed under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 (as amended from time to time), and other Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in India. (9) The Key Rationale of the Scheme are as under: Reduction in number of audits and return filings from a regulatory standpoint. It becomes onerous whenever there are changes in laws/rules which require changes for both entities to be replicated. The Group's vendor contracts cover all legal entities but, by virtue of these being separate entities, paper contracts end up being different thereby resulting in administrative inefficiencies. Inter-company transactions would also reduce considerably. (10) It is further stated that, no investigation proceedings are pending under Section 210 to 215 of the Companies Act, 2013 or otherwise against the Transferee Company and the Transferor Company. 3.

In the instant case, as detailed supra, all the Companies involved in the case, have filed necessary Certificates given by the Chartered Accountants duly certifying the number of Shareholders, constituting 100% of Equity Shareholding of the Applicant Companies, and they have also furnished their consent affidavits. There would not serve any purpose to direct to convene and hold the meetings of Equity Shareholders of Applicants. As seen from the Chartered Accountants' Certificates issued by M/s. B.K. Ramadhyani Co. LLP dated 30.10.2020 there are no Secured Creditors in both the Applicant Companies. Hence, the requirement of convening and holding the meeting of the Secured Creditors of Applicant Companies does not arise. Therefore, it would be just and appropriate to dispense with the meetings of Equity Shareholders as sought for and convene the meetings of Unsecured Creditors and Unsecured Trade Creditors of Applicants, as they have not filed Affidavits for dispensation of their meetings. 8. In the result, C.A. (CAA) No.01/BB/2021 is .....
