India's trusted advisory for Fast Track Merger under Section 233 — a simplified, cost-effective route for amalgamation of small companies and holding-subsidiary entities, without NCLT approval. From scheme drafting to the Regional Director's confirmation order.
A Fast Track Merger is a simplified amalgamation procedure introduced under Section 233 of the Companies Act, 2013 and the CAA Rules 2016, effective 15th December 2016. It allows small companies, holding-subsidiary pairs, and start-up companies to merge without approaching the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT).
Instead of NCLT, the scheme is confirmed by the Regional Director — eliminating court-convened meetings and public advertisement requirements, while still requiring member consent of at least 90% and creditor consent of 90% in value.
JurisTatva guides promoter groups, holding companies and their subsidiaries, and eligible start-ups through the complete process — scheme drafting, valuation coordination, statutory filings and RD liaison — with a structured, time-bound advisory approach.

Everything you need to know about Fast Track Merger under Section 233 — answered by our experts.
Small companies merging with each other, a holding company merging with its wholly-owned subsidiary, and start-up companies are eligible for the Section 233 fast track route. It is not available if any inquiry, inspection or investigation is pending against the company.
A Section 233 fast track merger typically takes 60 to 120 days, from scheme drafting to filing Form INC-28, depending on Regional Director processing time and whether any objections are raised within the 30-day window.
The draft scheme, AOA and MOA of both companies, audited financial statements, a valuation report from two or more registered valuers, and MCA forms CAA-10, GNL-1 and INC-28 are the core documents required. Our team drafts and coordinates these on your behalf.
No. A fast track merger under Section 233 does not require NCLT approval — confirmation is given instead by the Regional Director, which makes the process faster and less expensive than a regular Sections 230–232 merger route.
The scheme must be approved by members holding at least 90% of the total number of shares, and by creditors representing 90% in value, of both the transferor and transferee companies. This threshold is strictly enforced by the Regional Director.
A regular merger under Sections 230–232 requires NCLT approval, court-convened meetings and public advertisement. A Section 233 fast track merger skips NCLT entirely, requires no court-convened meeting and no public advertisement, and is confirmed instead by the Regional Director — reducing both cost and timeline.
