1. In the case of an ‘amalgamation in the nature of merger’, the balance
of the Profit and Loss Account appearing in the financial statements of the
transferor company is aggregated with the corresponding balance appearing
in the financial statements of the transferee company. Alternatively, it is
transferred to the General Reserve, if any. 
2. In the case of an ‘amalgamation in the nature of purchase’, thebalance
of the Profit and Loss Account appearing in the financial statements of the
transferor company, whether debit or credit, loses its identity.
