Hai,
As per my understanding, in case of amalgamation in nature of purchase the purchasing company(transferee company) would record statutory reserves under AMALGAMATION ADJUSTMENT ACCOUNT.

In case Transferor company or selling company AS-14 is not applicable hence the main objective is closing books of accounts including reserves which include statutory reserves and equity share capital to shareholders account.
In case of transferee Co or purchasing company, in purchase method there statutory reserves are incorporated by following entry
Amalgamation Adjustment
To Statutory reserve

In Transferor company books main objective is closing books of accounts hence all reserves are transferred to shareholders account irrespective whether it is amalgamation in nature of merger or purchase.
