Why Should You Close Legally?
A company exists as a separate legal entity until the government legally dissolves it. Abandoning it without a formal "Strike Off" creates immense legal risk.
Avoid Director Disqualification
If an inactive company fails to file its annual returns for 3 consecutive years, the MCA will aggressively disqualify the directors for 5 years. You will be barred from starting or joining any new company in India.
Stop Mounting Penalties
Even if your company has zero transactions, you are legally required to file Auditor's Reports and MCA Returns every year. Non-filing incurs compounding penalties of ₹100 per day for each form. Striking off freezes this liability.
Save Annual Maintenance Costs
An inactive company is a financial drain. You have to pay fees for yearly statutory audits, maintaining the registered office, bank account charges, and CA consultation fees. Closure cuts these expenses to zero.
No Unexpected Legal Notices
Active companies are constantly subject to scrutiny by the Income Tax Department and GST authorities. A formally "Struck Off" company is legally dissolved, meaning you get peace of mind and no surprise government notices.
The Formal Closure Process
We meticulously handle the drafting, affidavits, and MCA submissions. A typical strike-off takes 3 to 4 months for final government approval.
Step 1: Check Eligibility & Clear Dues
The company must not have started business within 1 year of incorporation, OR must not have done business for the last 2 years. All liabilities (bank loans, vendor dues) must be settled and the bank account must be closed.
Step 2: Statement of Accounts
Our Chartered Accountant prepares a "Statement of Accounts" showing zero assets and zero liabilities, dated no earlier than 30 days from the application date.
Step 3: Board Resolution & Affidavits
We draft the Board Resolution to close the company. All directors must sign an Indemnity Bond (Form STK-3) on stamp paper and an Affidavit (Form STK-4) confirming zero liabilities.
Step 4: STK-2 Filing & Gazette
We file Form STK-2 with the ROC. The ROC verifies the form, publishes a public notice in the Official Gazette, and if no objections are received within 30 days, officially strikes off the company.
Required Documents
Upload these to your secure client portal. We will prepare the Affidavits and Indemnity bonds for notarization.
Active DSC
An active Class 3 Digital Signature Certificate of the authorized director to e-sign STK-2.
Director Identity Proofs
PAN Card and Aadhaar Card of all existing directors of the company.
Bank Closure Certificate
A statement from your bank confirming that the company's current account has been closed with nil balance.
NOC from Authorities (If applicable)
If the company is regulated by RBI, SEBI, or IRDAI, an NOC from them is required.
What if I have ongoing operations?
The Fast-Track Strike Off (STK-2) is ONLY for defunct/inactive companies. If your company has ongoing operations, pending litigations, or massive unpaid debts, you cannot use this route. You must opt for Voluntary Winding Up or the Insolvency and Bankruptcy process.
