According to the Scheme of Arrangement documents filed with the NCLT, the transaction involves the demerger and transfer of the "Lending business" / "NBFC business undertaking" from Sammaan Finserve Limited (SFL) (the Demerged Company) to Sammaan Capital Limited (SCL) (the Resulting Company) [1]—reversing the direction noted in the query.

Transfer Scope and Terms

  • Assets Transferred: All properties and assets relating to the demerged lending undertaking as on the Appointed Date are transferred to Sammaan Capital Limited at the values appearing in the books of accounts of Sammaan Finserve Limited on a going concern basis [2].
  • Liabilities Transferred: All liabilities relating to the demerged undertaking as on the Appointed Date become liabilities of Sammaan Capital Limited at their book values [2]. Liabilities in the nature of general or multipurpose borrowings of the Demerged Company are transferred in the same proportion that the value of the transferred assets bears to the total value of assets of the Demerged Company immediately prior to the Appointed Date [2].
  • Consideration: Because Sammaan Finserve Limited is a wholly owned subsidiary of Sammaan Capital Limited, no fresh equity shares are issued as consideration for the demerger [3].

Disclosure Gaps

  • Appointed Date: The filing extracts specify that the demerger shall take effect from "the Appointed Date" in compliance with Section 2(19AA) of the Income Tax Act [2], but the exact calendar date is not disclosed in the provided document extracts.
  • Quantum of the Loan Book: The specific numeric quantum of the loan book being carved out is not reported in the retrieved filing documentation.

What is the projected impact of this Scheme of Arrangement on Sammaan Capital’s consolidated Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) and Net Worth, as detailed in the 'Accounting Treatment' section of the explanatory statement?

The explanatory statement and associated accounting treatment provisions outline the book-value mechanics of the demerger but do not disclose a specific quantitative projection or numerical impact on Sammaan Capital’s consolidated Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) or exact Net Worth.

Accounting Treatment and Structural Mechanics

  • Book Value Transfer: All assets, liabilities, and identified reserves of the Demerged Undertaking (Sammaan Finserve Limited) are to be recorded by the Resulting Company (Sammaan Capital Limited) at their respective carrying values as appearing in the books of the demerged company on the Appointed Date [4], [5].
  • No Share Issuance: Because the demerged company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the resulting company, Sammaan Capital Limited will not issue any fresh equity shares as consideration for the demerger [2].
  • Reserve Adjustments: Any net surplus or deficit arising from the transfer is recognized in 'Other Equity' [4], [5]. Any existing negative retained earnings or debit balances in Other Equity are adjusted first against the Capital Reserve account and subsequently against the Securities Premium Account [4], [5], [6].
  • Investment and Inter-Company Elimination: The carrying value of investments in the equity shares of the demerged company held by Sammaan Capital Limited stands reduced to the extent of the net assets retained by the demerged company, and all inter-company balances are cancelled [4], [6].
  • Capital Preservation: The scheme does not involve any cash outflow, payout of funds, or reduction in the issued, subscribed, and paid-up share capital of the resulting company [6], [6].

Implications and Disclosure Limits

  • Net Worth Impact: While the structural net worth change is governed by the elimination of the investment carrying value against net assets and the reallocation of reserves into 'Other Equity' and Securities Premium [4], [6], an explicit post-scheme Net Worth figure or percentage change is not reported in the explanatory statement.
  • Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR): The filing details that the demerged company will surrender its RBI registration as a non-deposit-taking NBFC-ICC upon the scheme becoming effective [7], but it omits numerical estimates or pro-forma calculations regarding the resulting consolidated Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR).
