About Revive a Struck-Off Company — Section 252
A clear overview, in simple terms — what it is, why it matters, and how we handle it.
A company struck off by the Registrar can be restored under Section 252 of the Companies Act. A person aggrieved by the strike-off order can appeal within three years of the order, and the company, a member, creditor or workman can apply within 20 years if the company was carrying on business or it is otherwise just to restore it. Once the order is passed, it is filed with the Registrar in Form INC-28 and all pending returns are filed.
Companies are usually struck off for not filing financial statements and annual returns for two years. The consequences hit hard: bank accounts are frozen, directors can be disqualified, and contracts and property held by the company are in limbo.
We prepare the application with evidence that the company was operating (invoices, bank statements, tax returns), coordinate with the Registrar's report, and after restoration file every overdue return so the company doesn't get struck off again.
| Law | Section 252, Companies Act 2013 |
|---|---|
| Appeal by aggrieved person | Within 3 years of the strike-off order |
| Company, member, creditor or workman | Up to 20 years |
| After order | INC-28 filed with the Registrar |
