Definitions in Income Tax Act, 1961

168 views 1 replies

Income Tax Act defines "demerger", "amalgamation", "slump sale" etc. Demerger and amalgamation fall under "scheme of arrangement" under Section 230 and Section 232 of Companies Act, 2013. However, these terms are not defined in Companies Act, 2013.

My question is: Under what circumstances can definitions under Income Tax Act be imported into corporate law regime? Do you have any case law on this?

Thanks.

Corporate law is governed by Companies Act 2013.


Income tax Act 1961 Act defines certain words but it can be used for the purpose of ascertaining in corporate framework.
May be both are governed by different Act.
But both coexist.
