The objective is to identify the rationales of merger, strategic and financial intents of mergers and evaluate the performance of merged companies before and after merger. The data used in the study was obtained through questionnaire and interview with the executives of merged companies. In addition, the deed of merger and financial statements are thoroughly investigated to understand the merger process and financial performance of the merged companies. The performance 5 years before merger and 5 years after merger are investigated using financial statement analysis. In order to substantiate the result t- test was used for hypothesis testing The study finding indicates that the major merger motive is enhancing profitability. It is also found that the merger process is simply pooling the audited financial statements of companies going for merger.
