Thomas Cook India completes corporate restructuring

New Delhi, Nov 25 () Travel services firm Thomas Cook India on Monday said its corporate restructuring process has been completed after receiving approvals from the NCLT Mumbai and Bengaluru.

"...the Composite Scheme of Arrangement and Amalgamation amongst TC Forex Services Ltd and Travel Corporation (India) Ltd and TC Travel Services Ltd and SOTC Travel Management Pvt Ltd and Thomas Cook (India) Ltd and Quess Corp Ltd and their respective shareholders has become effective today," the company said in a filing to the BSE.

The appointed date, from which the scheme will take effect, is April 1 next year, it added.

"Post approval of NCLT Mumbai and Bengaluru on Oct 10, 2019, and Nov 7, 2019, respectively, the board has announced the completion of the demerger of Human Resource Services Business of Thomas Cook (India) Ltd into Quess Corp Ltd on a going concern basis," said Thomas Cook (India) Chairman and Managing Director Madhavan Menon.
