The amalgamation is a blending of two or more existing undertakings into one undertaking, the share-holders of each blending company become substantially the shareholders in the company which is to carry on the blended undertakings. There may be amalgamation either by the transfer of two or more undertakings to a new company, or by the transfer of one or more undertakings to an existing company.

One cannot arbitrarily cut down the amplitude of an expression used by the legislature, Central Bank of India v. Workmen, AIR 1960 SC 12 (23): (1960) 1 SCR 200.

negative amortization
negative amortization amortization means that monthly payments are large enough to pay the interest and reduce the principal on your mortgage. Negative amortization occurs when the monthly payments do not cover all of the interest cost. The interest cost that isn't covered is added to the unpaid principal balance. This means that even after making many payments, you could owe more than you did at the beginning of the loan. Negative amortization can occur when an ARM has a payment cap that results in monthly payments not high enough to cover the interest due. Source: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development ...
