There are two pvt companies under a same management. One of them is a loss making co. lets say A Co. and one is in profit say B co. now i want to absorb the losses of the A co. which of the following ways is the best way to do so from income tax point of view i.e no litigation is invited?
1) Amalgamte The A co with B co. 2) Make A co. a subsidary of B co by aquiring shares of A co. 3) or if we expect profit in A co in some years down the line so let it work as it is but it will be cover by section 115JB (MAT)? or if you feel any other way to absorb the losses of A co. plz tell me?

in my point of veiw amalgamation subject to nature of business of the co. which is specified by section 72A and 72AA is better way to absorb the losses of the company as it is cheaper way in all of the above and involving less formalities.
