NCLT Sanctions Scheme of Amalgamation: Go Digit Infoworks Merges with Go Digit General Insurance Limited

NCLT Sanctions Scheme of Amalgamation: Go Digit Infoworks Merges with Go Digit General Insurance Limited​

The National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) has approved a scheme of amalgamation involving Go Digit Infoworks Services Private Limited and Go Digit General Insurance Limited. The order, pronounced on August 13, 2026, directs the companies to proceed with the merger following the resolution of key corporate structures under the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013.

The rationale provided by the Applicant Companies for the amalgamation centers on structural simplification and enhanced growth objectives. The move is intended to reduce administrative overheads and complex holding company structures, thereby creating a stronger entity capable of achieving larger scale coverage and access to capital in the market. Furthermore, the scheme aims to demonstrate the shareholders' commitment to the amalgamated entity and align with regulatory intent for leaner holding structures in the insurance business.

Corporate Structure and Financial Snapshot​

The two applicant companies, Go Digit Infoworks Services Private Limited (the Transferor Company) and Go Digit General Insurance Limited (the Transferee Company), have distinct operations reflected in their share capital:


The Transferee Company also recorded subsequent equity share allotments related to employee stock options totaling 76,545 shares over two periods between May and June 2026.

Amalgamation Consideration Details​

Under the approved scheme, the NCLT directed the consideration in terms of equity allotment to be made for all shareholders of the Transferor Company upon the Scheme becoming effective:


A key aspect of the merger is that upon amalgamation, the equity shares of the Transferee Company held by the Transferor Company are automatically cancelled as part of the Scheme.

Creditor and Regulatory Directives​

The Tribunal addressed the status of creditors for both companies as on March 31, 2026:

• Secured Creditors: Neither company had any secured creditors as of the date noted.
• Unsecured Creditors (Transferor): The Transferor Company reported seven unsecured creditors with a total outstanding amount of Rs. 83,32,714/-.
• Unsecured Creditors (Transferee): The Transferee Company reported 312 unsecured creditors and other classes of creditors with a total outstanding amount of Rs. 8,00,99,56,916/-.

The NCLT ordered that meetings of the unsecured creditors for both companies are dispensed with, based on the fact that the Scheme is structured as an arrangement between the Transferor Company and its shareholders, not involving a compromise or reduction of liabilities for the unsecured creditors of either company.

However, the Tribunal directed specific actions regarding creditor notifications:

• The Transferor Company must issue individual notices to its seven unsecured creditors, allowing them 30 days to submit representations to the Tribunal.
• The Transferee Company must issue individual notices to all unpaid unsecured creditors with an amount of Rs. 5,000/- and more, giving them a 30-day window to submit representations.

Financial health assessments showed that the net worth of the Transferor Company was reported at Rs. 1,02,877 Lakh, while the Transferee Company's pre-Scheme net worth stood at Rs. 4,58,641 Lakh, increasing to Rs. 4,69,948 Lakh post-Scheme.

Next Steps and Shareholder Meetings​

The NCLT directed that the equity shareholders of the Transferee Company must hold a meeting within 90 days of the Order being uploaded on the NCLT website. The Tribunal stipulated that this shareholder meeting can be conducted through video conferencing or other audio visual means (VC/OAVM), allowing for remote e-voting and live e-voting during the meeting, in line with regulatory standards.

Furthermore, the Transferor Company’s equity shareholders were advised that convening a meeting is dispensed with, as all three equity shareholders provided their consent via affidavit. The Transferee Company's leadership has been appointed to oversee the process, including appointing individuals for the shareholder meeting and scrutiny of the proceedings.
