"Very often, the two expressions "merger" and "amalgamation" are taken as synonymous. But there is, in fact, a difference. Merger is restricted to a case where the assets and liabilities of the companies get vested in another company, the company which is merged losing its identity and its shareholders becoming shareholders of the other company.
