In re Niyogin Fintech Limited (NCLT Chennai)

Summary: The National Company Law Tribunal, Division Bench-I, Chennai, considered CA (CAA) / 66 (CHE) / 2026 filed by Niyogin Fintech Limited, Niyogin Finserv Limited and Iserveu Technology Private Limited under Sections 230-232 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with the Companies (Compromises, Arrangements and Amalgamations) Rules, 2016. The application concerns a Composite Scheme of Arrangement involving demerger of the NBFC Business of Niyogin Fintech Limited into Niyogin Finserv Limited and amalgamation of Niyogin Fintech Limited with Iserveu Technology Private Limited.

Niyogin Fintech Limited is described as the Demerged Company/Amalgamating Company, Niyogin Finserv Limited as the Resulting Company, and Iserveu Technology Private Limited as the Amalgamated Company. The Scheme provides for separation of the NBFC Business from the Remaining Business. The Tribunal records that the NBFC Business includes lending and distribution business and specified investments, while the Remaining Business consists of the strategic investment of Niyogin Fintech Limited by way of 51% equity shares in Iserveu Technology Private Limited.

The rationale recorded in the Scheme includes segregation of the NBFC Business to unlock value through independent valuation, focused management and growth of the respective business verticals, de-risking the businesses, and facilitating future equity or debt capital raising. For the amalgamation, the stated rationale is consolidation of the Remaining Business with Iserveu Technology Private Limited, simplification of the corporate structure, reduction of shareholding tiers, direct holding by Niyogin Fintech Limited shareholders and price discovery of the Amalgamated Company.

The Scheme was approved by the Boards of the three companies on 01.06.2026. The Tribunal also records a valuation report obtained from Icon Valuation LLP dated 31.01.2025, the Appointed Date as the opening business hours of 1st April 2026 or such other date as may be approved by the boards, certification by the statutory auditors regarding compliance with Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013, and no-objection/observation letters from BSE Limited dated 22.01.2026 and RBI dated 12.05.2025.

The Tribunal noted a requirement concerning approval of the boards of subsidiaries and final approval for change in control of Moneymap, and directed the applicant companies to furnish the relevant approvals along with the second motion petition.

On the meeting directions, the Tribunal ordered the convening, holding and conducting of meetings of the equity shareholders, secured creditors and unsecured creditors of Niyogin Fintech Limited because the requisite consent affidavits were not placed on record. The equity shareholders’ meeting is directed for 30.10.2026 at 10:30 AM, the secured creditors’ meeting at 11:30 AM and the unsecured creditors’ meeting at 12:30 PM, at the specified Chennai venue or through video conferencing subject to the Tribunal’s directions. Meetings of the equity shareholders and unsecured creditor of Niyogin Finserv Limited were dispensed with on the basis of 100% consents, and the meeting of its secured creditors was unnecessary because there were NIL secured creditors. Meetings of the equity and preference shareholders of Iserveu Technology Private Limited were likewise dispensed with on the basis of 100% consents, while the Tribunal also issued directions concerning its creditors.

The Tribunal appointed chairpersons and scrutinizers for the meetings, prescribed quorum and adjournment arrangements, required compliance with applicable MCA circulars, directed notices to members and creditors and publication of advertisements, and required reports of the meetings and affidavits of service and compliance. The companies were also directed to notify the Regional Director, MCA, Registrar of Companies Coimbatore, RBI, Income Tax Authorities and other sectoral regulators having significant bearing on the Scheme.

Ultimately, after considering the applications, documents filed and the position of law, the Tribunal issued the meeting and procedural directions and, by paragraph 18, allowed CA (CAA) / 66 (CHE) / 2026.

RATIONALE FOR DEMERGER:

The proposed scheme seeks to separate the NBFC Business (defined hereafter) from the Remaining Business (defined hereafter) of the Demerged Company and demerge it into the Resulting Company.

The proposed Scheme would be in the best interests of the Parties and their respective shareholders, employees, creditors, and other stakeholders.

1. Segregating the NBFC business from the Remaining business to unlock value for existing shareholders of the Demerged Company through independent, market-driven valuation of NBFC business;

2. Pursuing growth in the respective business verticals with focused management approach, thereby allowing new opportunities to be explored for each business efficiently and de-risking the businesses from each other; and

3. The NBFC Business has a different growth trajectory and funding requirements vis-a-vis the Remaining Business. They would thus attract interests from different set of financial and strategic investors, unique to their respective business. Segregation of the two businesses pursuant to demerger is aimed at facilitating raising capital (equity and / or debt) in future.
