First of all it depends upon the scheme of amalgamation which was approved by the Court. If the scheme provides that on order of the Court,A Ltd merged with B Ltd and A Ltd stands wound up, then the entire liability falls on B Ltd automatically on the amalgamation. Then in that case, B limited has to file the necessary forms for the satisfaction of Charges.
When we file the order of the Court for amalgamation with ROC and registered, the entire liability of A Ltd. standa transferred to B.Ltd.
