BUsiness Transfer Agreement

3963 views 4 replies

Dear All,

Can a business transfer agreement be executed without any consideration?? If there is a reference given to an earlier MOU entered into by the parties.

Kindly help me with the implications of the above transaction. Would the agreement be valid contract?? and what would be the tax  and stamp duty implications??

Also, kindly help me on what would be the outcome if the above transaction is between a public ltd. (unlisted) company and an individual.

Pl. Help!!

Thanks & Regards,

Ruchie

As far as Contract is concerned, consideration has to be there as a very vital factor for constituting valid contract. Only few of the exceptions provided in section 25 of the Indian Contarct Act, in which, prima facie, aforesaid transaction will not fit.

However, if it is a question of refering to some earlier MOU, it depends on the facts of the case.

Stamp duty will be applicable. Also you have to check provisions of Gift Act, as no consideration is involved, which again requre attention to Income Tax.

As far as question of Compnay, even though unlisted, plz refer to MOU entered earlier which will give more clear idea, i mean to say what approval required form members and provisions of MOA & AOA etc.
