“3. In addition to the above and without prejudice to the objections in the letter attached, it is submitted that the requirement to send the notice to the concerned department is a procedural requirement and as such does not impact the right of the Department to proceed in accordance with the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961. Therefore, it is submitted that this Hon’ble Tribunal, may take the objections on record without prejudice to the rights 2 of the Department to take all appropriate proceedings under the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961 to protect the interest of the Government revenue including the right to reopen the assessment. Further it is submitted that by filing of this Memo and the report of the Assessing Officer, the Income Tax Department shall not have deemed to waive its rights to undertake all proceedings under the Income Tax Act, 1961.
4. Reliance is placed on the judgment of the Supreme Court in Marshall Sons & Co India Ltd Vs Income Tax Officer (AIR1997SC1763 & MANU/SC/0407/1997), wherein the Hon’ble Court has held in para 17 of its Judgement as under:
“We, however, make it clear that we have not expressed any opinion on the plea of the learned Counsel for the Revenue that the amalgamation itself is a device designed to evade the taxes legitimately payable by the subsidiary company. If the Income Tax authorities think that, they are entitled to raise this question in the proceedings under the Income Tax Act, it is open to them to do so by way of a separate proceeding according to law.”
In line with the judgment of Hon’ble Supreme Court, it is stated that the Income Tax Department therefore reserves their right to proceed against the Petitioner Companies through independent proceedings under the provisions of the Income Tax and it is reiterated that filing of the present memo shall not in any manner amount to waiving its rights to proceed against the Petitioner Companies and pass orders in accordance with law.
It is prayed that this Hon’ble Tribunal maybe please to take the memo and the letter on record and consider the same as the representation of the Income Tax Department as per Section 230 of Companies Act, 2013 and pass such other order(s) as this Hon’ble Tribunal may think fit in the facts and circumstances of the case.”

Copy of the revised report dated 27/5/2025 is enclosed and marked as Annexure-3 for kind perusal of this Hon'ble Tribunal. However, the revised report also does not contain confirmation of scrutinizing the financial statements & returns filed with ROC for 2020-2021, as per scope of work and accordingly further report on the same is being called for from the Chartered Accountant.
3. That in accordance with the basis of notice served on 30/01/2025 to the Official Liquidator by the Transferor Company and also considering the conclusion made by the Chartered Accountants in their revised report dated 28/4/2025 received on 27/5/2025 as detailed above in para 2 of the report, the specific representation of Official Liquidator in respect of Transferor Company is humbly submitted as follows:-
(i) Notice to the Sectoral Regulator MNRE / State Government / TNERC: That, the Background of the companies involved in the scheme disclosed vide Clause B of the Scheme to the effect that both companies in the scheme are an independent renewable energy based power generation companies owning and operating of wind farms etc. Accordingly, this Hon'ble Tribunal may be pleased to direct the companies to serve notice on the sectoral regulator viz., Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) and to the State Government concerned / TN Electricity Regulatory Commission (ERC) / concerned State ERC, as applicable, considering the definition of 'Appropriate Authority' as provided in Clause 1.1(e) of the scheme and with reference to permits as defined in clause 1.1(p) of the scheme and as further detailed in clause 9 of the scheme and with reference to clause 17.1.4 of the scheme providing for additional condition precedent to make the scheme effective only after obtaining such sanction/approvals from Appropriate Authority;

(ii) Holding Vs Wholly owned Subsidiary relationship does not exist as on Amalgamation Date:
That, the Background of the companies involved in the scheme disclosed vide Clause B of the Scheme read with Clause 3 (consideration) of the scheme to the effect that the transferor company is a wholly owned subsidiary of the transferee company i.e. there exists subsisting relationship of holding and wholly owned subsidiary between the two companies in the scheme, however, this clause is silent as to whether such relationship subsists as on Appointed Date (1.4.2023) and subsequently as well, as it requires to subsist such relationship as on relevant Appointed Date and subsequently as well as the undertaking of transferor company that exists as on Appointed date (as duly provided in clause 1.1(b) and 2.1.1 of the scheme) will get transferred to and vested into the transferee company upon sanction of the scheme and scheme do not provide for allotment of shares as consideration (clause 3 of the scheme) for such transfer and vesting of undertaking as on Appointed Date. However, it is noticed from Note No.3 (Share Capital) of audited financials of the transferor company as on 31.3.2023 that the shares of the transferor company were not held by the transferee company (5% or more) as on 31.3.2023 (Appointed date 1.4.2023) instead it was disclosed in the audited financials that another company (not part of the scheme) namely Loyal Credit and Investment Limited is the holding company for the transferor company. Hence, the transferee company is not the holding company for the transferor company as on 31.3.2023 / Appointed Date 1.4.2023, as disclosed in the scheme. Further, there are no details disclosed about the acquisition of shares of Transferor Company by the transferee company on 1.4.2023 along with details of proof of payment of consideration through bank statement evidence. Hence, the present scheme without such subsisting relationship of holding and wholly owned subsidiary as on appointed date (1.4.2023) but with no consideration on the ground of such relationship, need amendment providing for issue of consideration to the shareholders of the transferor company after getting the expert report on valuation as per section 232(2)(d) of the Companies Act, 2013. Hence, this Hon'ble Tribunal may be pleased to direct the companies to amend the scheme providing for consideration after obtaining valuation report. Further the subclause (a) of Clause C (Rationale of the scheme) of the scheme also need deletion as it refers to simplification of holding structure of Transferee Company. Further, clause 4 of the scheme providing for cancellation of shares held by the transferee company into Transferor Company does not arise and hence need deletion. Hence, this Hon'ble Tribunal may be pleased to direct the companies to delete Clause C(a) and 4 of the
CP(CAA)/ 65 (CHE)/ 2024 In CA(CAA)/ 32 (CHE)/ 2024 Ind Eco Ventures Limited With Indowind Energy Limited

scheme. The copy of Note No.3 of audited financials of Transferor Company as at 31.3.2023 is enclosed and marked as Annexure-1.
(iii) Dispensation of meeting of shareholders / creditors sought on the ground of holding Vs wholly owned subsidiary, which is incorrect:
Issue of existence of Separate class of Creditors (FCCB) is not disclosed:
That, the para no. 13 of the order dated 2.9.2024 passed by this Hon'ble Tribunal against the Company Application dated 28.3.2024 refers to the submission made by the companies to this Hon'ble Tribunal to the effect that the proposed scheme is between holding and its subsidiary company and as per ratio of Hon'ble NCLAT judgement in Mohit Agro, meeting of equity shareholders can be dispensed with and the same is allowed by this Hon'ble Tribunal accordingly in terms of para no. 14.B.a of the said order, ibid. However, it is noticed that as on amalgamation date relevant for the scheme to proceed without payment of any consideration, there is no subsisting relationship of holding and subsidiary between the two companies in the scheme. Further, the details of creditors in Foreign Currency Convertible Bonds (FCCB) as a separate class in respect of Transferee Company were not found to be disclosed to this Hon'ble Tribunal before seeking dispensation of creditors' meeting. Hence, this Hon'ble Tribunal may be pleased to direct the companies to clarify the same to this Hon'ble Tribunal or to order the meeting of shareholders of transferee company (a listed entity) or to order meeting of creditors of FCCB holders (creditors) or such other meetings as deem fit in accordance with law.
(iv) NoC not obtained from Stock Exchanges:
That, there is no NoC obtained by the transferee company from the stock exchanges (BSE and NSE) before filing the scheme through Company Application in April 2025, in compliance with Rule 37(2) of SEBI (LODRO Regulations as amended, as it is noticed that the copy of such NoC was not found part of type set of documents forming part of Company Application / Company Petition as the same should be filed to this Hon'ble Tribunal as per Regulation 37(3), ibid. The claim of the companies that it need not comply with Regulation 37 in view of exception provided in Regulation 37(6) as applicable at the relevant time, since the scheme is between holding and wholly owned subsidiary is incorrect as explained in sub-para (ii) above, and hence it need to obtain NoC from both the stock exchanges. Further, such exception is based on the condition that the proposed scheme solely provide for such merger between holding and wholly owned subsidiary, however, in this case, scheme also provide for reduction of share capital of transferee company (listed entity) as detailed in sub-para (xi) below, and hence the exception is not applicable being not a case of merger solely without any reduction of share capital etc. Hence, this Hon'ble

Page 12 of 40
==> picture [43 x 43] intentionally omitted <==
Tribunal may be pleased to direct the companies to file full details of the scheme explaining the ingredients of reduction of share capital of listed entity included in the scheme to SEBI / BSE / NSE along with details of actual position of no such relationship of holding and wholly owned subsidiary as on amalgamation date, and obtain NoC from BSE and NSE and proceed with de novo filing of company application as per SEBI (LODR) regulations, ibid.
(v) Mismatch in the details of shareholding disclosed in scheme with audited financial statements, also within financial statements, etc;
Share capital structure as on Amalgamation date not furnished in the scheme:
That, the Note No.3 (Share capital) of the audited financials of the transferor company disclose that there is Class I equity shares with voting rights under the names of shareholders holding 5% or more classification, without commensurate comparable details of Class I and other than Class I, under the 3 sub-headings viz., 'Authorised', Issued' and 'Subscribed and fully paid up'.

nonexistence of land and buildings forming part of wind mill business of the transferor company.

Whereas it is noticed that before the transaction date (1.4.2023), the transferor company is not controlled by the transferee company as the transferor company is not a subsidiary of transferee company instead the transferor company was a subsidiary of another entity namely Loyal Credit & Investments Ltd which is not part of the scheme and nothing is disclosed in the scheme about such other entity part of transferee company's control. Hence, the said disclosure in clause 5.1 of the scheme is incorrect disclosure which needs amendment. Since they were not under common control before the business combination (transaction with date 1.4.2023), it is not meeting the criteria of 'common control business combination' as provided under Appendix C of Ind AS103. Further, in the absence of any business of Transferor Company that is left to be carried on by the transferee company as detailed in sub-para (x) above, it is not meeting the criteria/definition of business given in Ind AS-103. Hence there is no business in this scheme that meet the definition given in Ind AS-103 and accordingly there is no business combination as well as defined therein. Hence, there is no business, business combination, and common control business combination in this case, hence it is not falling under the criteria of Ind AS-103 Appendix-C, accordingly it require amendment of clause 5.1 of the scheme. Hence, this Hon'ble Tribunal may be pleased to direct the companies to amend the clause 5.1 of the scheme and consequently to amend clauses 5.1.1 to 5.1.7 of the scheme.

Page 16 of 40
==> picture [43 x 43] intentionally omitted <==
such admission of winding up petition was ordered for status quo vide intra court appeal and appeal proceedings are pending. It is a case where the transferor company seeks to merge with the transferee company which is facing winding up proceedings (only status quo ordered) and hence it defacto may become a case of dissolution of transferor company as well with winding up (post-merger) through the process of winding up of transferee company and hence the disclosure of 'dissolution of transferor company without process of winding up' in clause 12 also become incorrect subject to the orders of the Hon'ble High Court of the Madras, so far passed or to be passed. Hence, this Hon'ble Tribunal may be pleased to direct the companies to furnish the latest status of the same along with copies of all orders passed by the Company Court and the Division Bench of the Hon'ble High Court of Madras, in order to verify the implication of those orders on the continuity of the transferee company or its winding up.

Hence, this Hon'ble Tribunal may be pleased to direct the companies to disclose the value involved in the FCCB issue along with complete details of issue and its restructure, and to obtain consents from the bond holders/their trustee if any for the scheme and furnish the same to this Hon'ble Tribunal.
(xv) Income tax litigation before Hon'ble High Court Madras:

Hence, this Hon'ble Tribunal may be pleased to direct the companies to furnish the value involved in the case, latest status of the pending case along with copies of all orders passed by the Hon'ble High Court of Madras, in order to verify the implication of those orders on the content of the scheme, if any.

Further whether it is a case of compounding / adjudication of penalty or both need be clarified by the companies. It is also noticed that the violations in financial statements are found in financials of Transferor Company in the subsequent year 2022-23 as well as reported in this report.
(xvii) Scheme at the stage of inconclusive proceedings which are significant: That in view of the details of various issues ranging from admission of winding up petition during FY 2020-21 against transferee company and pending inspection / investigation proceedings under Companies Act, 2013 against the transferor company, as disclosed under pending litigations heading in Clause 23 of the Scheme, the proposed scheme at this stage may not be allowed till conclusion of the same. Hon'ble Tribunal may be pleased to decide the same on merits.

That the Note No.19 - Other Expenses of the audited Financials of the transferor company for the year 2021-22 disclose to the effect that it incurred loss of Rs 2.41 Cr as loss on sale of assets. Further, the financial statements for the 2022-23 in respect of Transferor Company disclose similar loss on sale of assets / slump sale to the tune of Rs 85.50 lakh. Hence, the details of such transactions, parties with whom such transactions took place along with details of KMP or not, book value, sale price and market value involved along with copy of valuation report etc in support of the such sale of assets /slump sale need be verified to ensure it is not a prejudicial transaction or it is not a case of diversion of asset to related parties / others not at arm's length

However, the scheme is silent and do not enable or do not provide for such reduction of share capital as part of the scheme. Hence, this Hon'ble Tribunal may be pleased to direct the companies to amend the scheme providing for reduction of share capital of Transferee Company as part of the scheme.
