The merger of a wholly-owned subsidiary is generally a strategic move to consolidate operations and improve efficiency, which can have a moderate positive impact on the company's structure and future performance.
The approval of the merger by the NCLT is a positive development for the company, as it aims to streamline operations and achieve cost efficiencies.
Persistent Systems Limited has received the Certified True Copy of the Order from the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), Mumbai, approving the merger of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Arrka Infosec Private Limited, with Persistent Systems Limited.
The NCLT's order, dated April 21, 2026, sanctions the Scheme of Amalgamation between Arrka Infosec Private Limited (Transferor Company) and Persistent Systems Limited (Transferee Company). The appointed date for the merger was April 1, 2025.
The rationale behind the merger includes maintaining a simpler corporate structure, realizing synergistic gains, eliminating duplicate corporate procedures, and consolidating all undertakings for effective management and unified control. This amalgamation is expected to create economies in administrative and managerial costs and reduce duplication of responsibilities and compliances.
As Arrka Infosec was a wholly-owned subsidiary, no new shares of Persistent Systems Limited will be allotted upon the scheme becoming effective. The issued and paid-up capital of Arrka Infosec will stand cancelled. The NCLT has directed Persistent Systems Limited to file a copy of the order and the scheme with the Registrar of Companies within 30 days. All employees of Arrka Infosec will become employees of Persistent Systems Limited on the effective date without any break in service or less favorable terms.
