31 May 2012 Dear Manoj,
First part of query is on taxability of transaction. On wind up anything paid to owner shall be taxable as capital gains.
It also requires treatment of subidiary shares and issue of its valuation if the same are passed on to the share holders of Mauritius based holding company. There are multiple issues which need to be checked. Advised approach proper professional help.

Secondly, merger is possible option too.

03 June 2012 Thanks Mr. Shah,

But i my knowledge the new Companies Bill 2011, it is proposed that with prior approval of the RBI a merger can happen even when the transferee is a foreign company. and a foreign company and hence the envisaged merger will be permitted only on the Companies Bill 2011 being enacted.

Please guide how to merge with mautitius base company.
