Company Profile
Company – Bajaj Auto Limited is India’s largest
manufacturer of scooters and motorcycles with a market
share of 31%. Bajaj is also engaged in the generation of
wind-energy, Insurance Business & Consumer Finance
Founder – Jamnalal Bajaj
Headquarter – Pune, Maharashtra, India
Leadership – Rahul Bajaj, Rajiv Bajaj, Sanjeev Bajaj
Objective & Purpose of Demerger
Considering the growth opportunities in the auto, wind-energy, insurance and
finance sectors, it was considered timely and appropriate to de-merge these
activities into separate entities, each of which can focus on these core businesses
and strengthen its competencies.
The demerger scheme created three separate entities with management focus on
clearly laid out objectives, pursuant to which: -
a. the auto company would focus on auto business; [Bajaj Auto Limited]
b. the wind power and financial services company will focus on wind-energy
generation, insurance, consumer finance and new initiatives in financial services
space; [Bajaj FinServ Limited] and
c. the primary investment company will focus on new business opportunities. [Bajaj
Holding Investment Limited]
Objective & Purpose of Demerger
The two new companies will be able to tap (on an arm’s length basis) into the cash
pool of the investment company to support future growth initiatives, if required.
The demerger will enable the investors to hold separate focused stocks
The demerger will facilitate more transparent benchmarking of the companies with
its peers in their respective industries.
The demerger unlocks value for the shareholders and would also benefit the
employees and other stakeholders
Motivations for Demerger Mobilising India – by supplying 4 million motorcycles out of a projected
market of 10 million.
Globalising India – by rapidly enhancing exports and international facilities to
become among the three largest global player in two-wheelers.
Financing India – by ramping up the group’s financial operations.
De-Risking India – by expanding the group’s life and general insurance
business across the land.
Regarding ‘Financing India’ and ‘De-Risking India’, the de-merger that occurred
in the course of 2007-08, and the consequent formation of Bajaj FinServ
Limited, should enable the group to unlock greater value by widening its
financial reach and portfolio.

Accounting treatment in the books of the Resulting Company:
Tax impact of the Demerger::
As per the Income Tax Act 1961, a transaction of Demerger per se has no tax implication on the shareholders. Hence, when the shareholders of Bajaj Auto Ltd. are allotted the new shares in each of the three companies, there would be absolutely no tax implication whatsoever. The tax implication will only arise when either the shares of Bajaj Auto Ltd. (now BHIL) or the shares of the new resulting companies are sold.
Tax implications when shares are sold:
When the shares of any of the companies are sold, it would give rise to capital gains tax liability. The three issues that arise are: Whether the new shares (in the resulting companies) are long-term assets or short-
term: To find out whether or not shares in the Resulting Companies are long-term or not, the holding period of the original Bajaj Auto Ltd. shares will be included in the period of holding of the new shares
Tax Implications – on Demerger
Tax implications when shares are sold:
Indexation of the capital gains: The indexation will start from the date of allotment of
the new shares and not from the date of acquisition of the original Bajaj Auto Ltd.
Relevance of indexation is only for working out the capital gain amount if the same
has to be set off against capital loss.
Cost of acquisition of various shares after the demerger transaction: To calculate
capital gains when the shares are sold, a vital piece of information is the cost of
acquisition. Your original cost of acquisition of Bajaj Auto Ltd. shares will change now
on account of the demerger. Plus, there will be a new cost accorded to the new
shares of the resulting companies.
Tax Implications – on Demerger

Key Takeaway
Bajaj Auto Limited unlocked value for shareholders - Auto Division;
Bajaj FinServ Limited (BFSL) and Bajaj Holding & Investments Limited (BHIL)
showed negative EVA, indicating that capital was not being properly used by them;
Demerger done at a right time can give an organization a competitive edge;
Empowering management adequately in time can lead to consistent growth of group
companies;
The Market Capitalization of the companies post listing of the resultant company was
Rs. 22,245 crs as compared to Rs. 21,036 crs in the consolidated company as at the
last date of trading of the consolidated company;
Key Takeaway
The Manufacturing Business and Strategic Business separated were put in charge of
the 2 brothers thus taking care of the family needs in future;
Focused investment via FII – as the business specific investments could be made in
separate companies.
How the demerger affects the shareholders
Minority Shareholders’ stakes devalued post demerger;
Larger equity base of the new Bajaj Auto and Bajaj FinServ to dilute Earnings Per
Share (EPS);
Holding Company stake unlikely to get fair value;
Holding Company discount allows promoters to hike their stake cheaply.
