The company operates in the insurance business under the Go Digit brand and is listed on the Indian stock exchanges under the symbol GODIGIT.

What Is the NCLT Order?
The NCLT, Mumbai Bench, pronounced its order on 13 August 2026 in Application No. CA(CAA)-125/MB/2026.
The tribunal has allowed the first motion application filed in relation to the proposed Scheme of Amalgamation of Go Digit Infoworks Services Private Limited with Go Digit General Insurance Limited and their respective shareholders.
The NCLT has directed Go Digit General Insurance to convene a meeting of its equity shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, approve the proposed scheme. The meeting is to be convened within 90 days from the date the order was uploaded on the NCLT website.
What Was the Matter?
The proceedings relate to a proposed amalgamation of Go Digit Infoworks Services Private Limited, the transferor company, with Go Digit General Insurance Limited, the transferee company.
The application was filed under Sections 230 to 232 of the Companies Act, 2013, which deal with schemes involving arrangements and amalgamations of companies. The NCLT’s first-motion order primarily sets out the process for notices and meetings connected with the proposed scheme.
What Happens Next?
The next major step is the meeting of Go Digit General Insurance’s equity shareholders.
The company has been directed to issue the required notices and make the necessary disclosures in accordance with the NCLT’s directions. The tribunal has also specified requirements relating to publication of the meeting notice and making the scheme documents available to shareholders.
The shareholder meeting will consider the proposed amalgamation and shareholders will have the opportunity to vote on the scheme.
Is the Amalgamation Final?
No. The latest NCLT order should not be interpreted as final approval of the entire amalgamation scheme.
Go Digit has specifically stated that the scheme remains subject to various statutory and regulatory approvals, including approval from the IRDAI and shareholders. The company also stated that the certified copy of the NCLT order is yet to be received.
Therefore, the NCLT order represents an important procedural step in the proposed amalgamation rather than completion of the transaction.
How Could the Amalgamation Help Go Digit?
If the proposed scheme ultimately receives all required approvals and is implemented, the amalgamation would bring the transferor company’s business and operations into the transferee company as contemplated under the scheme.
The immediate significance of the NCLT order is that the proposed transaction has moved forward to the shareholder approval stage. Further regulatory and corporate steps will determine the final outcome.
The filing does not quantify any specific financial benefit, cost savings or revenue impact from the proposed amalgamation. Therefore, such benefits should not be assumed until the company provides further details.
