SEZ act or SEZ Rules makes it very clear that , existing unit can open Branch in SEZ with fresh investment.

" If an enterprise is operating both as a Domestic Tariff Area unit as
well as a Special Economic Zone Unit, it shall have two distinct identities
with separate books of accounts, but it shall not be necessary for the
Special Economic Zone unit to be a separate legal entity:"

Prima Faci to be safe you can transfer the employees gradually .
