Spandana Sphoorty Financial approves amalgamation of wholly owned subsidiary Criss Financial Limited under scheme of arrangement
The board of Spandana Sphoorty Financial Limited, a listed NBFC, approved the merger of Criss Financial Limited (a wholly owned subsidiary) effective 14 August 2026. The transaction is structured as a scheme of arrangement under Sections 230–232 of the Companies Act, 2013, requiring statutory NCLT sanction and shareholder vote. This intra-group consolidation streamlines the company's subsidiary structure and eliminates inter-company transactions. No consideration amount is disclosed in the board approval notice, suggesting this may be at book value or via share issuance within the group.
Why it mattersIntra-group subsidiary amalgamation requires full statutory compliance (Sections 230–232, CA 2013) even where ownership is 100%, making NCLT sanction and shareholder consent critical gatekeepers; this precedent reinforces that corporate restructuring cannot skip formalities despite unified control.
