If you want to know from merger or demerger's point of view then please find below:
Section 79 :which has to be looked into while working out cross-border transactions. Carry forward of losses and their set off is not allowed under the Section in the case of a closely-held company, unless on the last day of the previous year the shares of the company carrying not less than 51 per cent of the voting power are beneficially held by the same persons as on the last day of the previous year in which the loss was incurred.
This requirement of Section 79 will not apply in cases where the shareholding changes in an Indian subsidiary on account of merger or demerger of a foreign company. It is necessary that this relaxation be provided to Indian holding companies too. Section 79 should be made applicable to all cases of mergers and demergers.
