Jab ek local company foreign entity se merge hona chahe – inward ya outward – to sirf board resolution ka kaam nahi. Yahan corporate law, foreign exchange rules, competition law, tax treaties, sab ek sath aajate hain.
Approvals typically lagte hain:
- Company law tribunal / court,
- Sectoral regulators (banking, insurance, telecom jaise sectors),
- Competition authority,
- Central bank/foreign exchange regulator.
Valuation, share swap ratio, creditor protection, employee continuity, IP transfer – har cheez detail me structured hoti hai. Time lines long ho sakte hain, aur multiple jurisdictions ke lawyers ek hi document pe negotiate karte hain.
Cross-border mergers se market access, technology, and capital aata hai, but legal groundwork strong na ho to later tax demands, litigation, aur integration failure ke forms me shock aa sakta hai.
