Proposed SCI Unit Demerger Exempted from Stamp Duty

The Indian government has announced that stamp duty will be waived for the demerger of Shipping Corporation of India's (SCI) unit. This exemption is aimed at facilitating the demerger process and ensuring its smooth and cost-effective execution.

The demerger of SCI's unit is a strategic move by the company to streamline its operations and create a separate entity that can focus on specific business areas. By doing so, SCI aims to enhance its efficiency and profitability, while also providing better value to its stakeholders.

The decision to exempt stamp duty on the demerger is in line with the government's commitment to promote ease of doing business, reduce unnecessary costs, and optimize the utilization of resources. Stamp duty is a levied tax on certain legal documents, including agreements, transfers, and sale deeds. The exemption from this duty will significantly reduce the financial burden on SCI during the demerger process.

This exemption is expected to attract more companies to consider similar restructuring initiatives, leading to increased efficiency and competitiveness across various sectors. It demonstrates the government's proactive approach in supporting businesses
