About Company Closure
A clear overview, in simple terms — what it is, why it matters, and how we handle it.
Closing a company properly protects directors from future penalties and disqualification. Simply abandoning it leads to accumulating late fees and, eventually, disqualified directors.
We check pending filings, prepare the statement of accounts, file the application and track it to the strike-off notice. If the company may be revived later, dormant status may suit you better.
A company that hasn't done business for two years, or never started within a year of incorporation, can apply to the ROC to be struck off in Form STK-2 (fee ₹10,000). It must first file all pending returns, clear its liabilities, close its bank account and have nil assets, and directors sign an indemnity (STK-3) and affidavit (STK-4). The ROC publishes a public notice before striking it off.
| Form | STK-2 under Section 248(2); fee ₹10,000 |
|---|---|
| Eligibility | No business for 2 years, or not commenced within 1 year |
| Before filing | Pending ROC returns filed; nil assets and liabilities; bank closed |
| Declarations | STK-3 indemnity and STK-4 affidavit by directors |
| Alternative | Dormant status (MSC-1) or voluntary liquidation |
