SEZ act or SEZ Rules makes it very clear that , existing unit can open Branch in SEZ with fresh investment.
The SEZ Rules , 2006 states in Sec.19(7) as follows.
" 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:"
So , the SEZ act or rules is favarable in your case.
The things to be verified is that , are employees are ready to get transfer ? Check up with HR speciallist what will happen to the employee scheme like PF , PPF and others.
Prima Faci to be safe you can transfer the employees gradually .
