Introduction
In a groundbreaking move, billionaire Mukesh Ambani’s conglomerate, Reliance Industries Ltd. (RIL), is set to demerge its financial arm, Jio Financial Services (JFS), on July 20, 2023. This strategic decision comes after shareholders and creditors approved the spinoff of Reliance Strategic Investments Ltd (RSIL), which will be rebranded as Jio Financial Services. The demerger will see RIL’s shares unavailable for normal trading for the initial 45 minutes on the day of the event.
An Overview of the Demerger

Shareholders are required to distribute their pre-demerger equity share acquisition cost accordingly, as stated in an official filing with the exchange. The process is aimed at benefiting shareholders, and the company has disclaimed any explicit or implicit liabilities associated with this guidance.
