15 March 2008 FROM 1999-2000,MERGERS ARE TAKEN OUT OF THE PURVIEW OF TRANSFER UNDER SEC 47.
SO THERE ARE NO CAPITAL GAINS OR OTHER LIABILITIES.
BUT ON THE VALUE OF SHARES ALLOTTED BY THE RESULTING COMPANY TO TRANSFEROR COMPANY CONSEQUENT TO THE MERGER , STAMP DUTY OF 2.5% IS PAYABLE WEF THE YEAR 2005 AUGUST. BUT WHETHER A GOVT. COMPANY GETS EXEMPTION OF STAMP DUTY BEING A STATE DUTY ? ONE CAN APPLY TO GOVT. AND TRY FOR EXEMPTION FROM STAMP DUTY.
