What it is and how we handle it

Dormant status suits companies that want to keep their name, registration or an asset but have no current operations — unlike strike-off, which ends the company. It isn't available to companies with outstanding public deposits, unpaid loans, pending tax or investigations, or listed securities.

The Companies Compliance Facilitation Scheme 2026 had halved the MSC-1 fee for defaulting companies, but it closed on 31 August 2026, so normal fees apply now. Overdue filings must still be cleared before applying.

FAQs

Common questions for Dormant Company Status — MSC-1 in New York.

Search FAQs
5 results.
What is an 'inactive company' for dormant status?
A company that has not carried on any business or operation, or has made no significant accounting transaction, during the last two financial years, or has not filed financial statements and annual returns during those two years.
Does a dormant company need an audit?
Its MSC-3 return must be accompanied by a certificate from a chartered accountant in practice. Board meetings are reduced to at least one in each half of the calendar year.
Should I choose dormant status or strike-off?
Choose dormant status if you want to keep the company for future use; choose strike-off if you have no further use for it. Dormant status still has small annual costs; strike-off ends them.
What is the time difference between New York and India?
Most of New York is on Eastern time, so it runs behind India by 9.5 hours in summer and 10.5 hours in winter. We work mostly over WhatsApp and email, so you don't need to match Indian office hours.
Can I get Dormant Company Status — MSC-1 done while living in New York?
Yes. This is India-side work, so it is done online and you don't need to travel. If a document must be attested abroad, we tell you upfront whether a notary, a state apostille or an Indian consulate is needed.
