The restructuring steps as follows:
Step 1:– GIL to formed a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) GIL Vikhroli Real Estate Limited (GVREL) as a wholly owned subsidiary of GIL.
Step 2:- GVREL will enter as partner in GVP-LLP with 40% share and simultaneously GIL will retire itself from GVL-LLP.
Step 3:– GVREL will get merged with GPL.
GIL formed Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) – GIL Vikhroli Real Estate Limited and then this to be merged in GPL. There can be 2 main reasons for doing so:-
Transaction should be Tax Neutral for GIL:-
If GIL would have sold its 40% stake in GVP LLP directly to GPL, it would resulted in tax implication on GIL’s part.
