Flipitmoney

The board of PFC and REC approved a merger, retaining the merged entity as a "government company". PFC owns 52.6% stake in REC, with 56% in PFC. Centre's stake will fall to 42% due to share swap. A merger to qualify the entity as a "government company" requires Centre's stake above 51%, necessitating a possible capital infusion or amendment to the Companies Act 2013.
