Legal Dissolution

Why Formally Strike Off Your Company?

A company exists as a separate legal entity forever unless formally dissolved. Ignoring a defunct company triggers severe legal actions from the Ministry of Corporate Affairs.

Director Disqualification

Under Section 164(2) of the Companies Act, if an inactive company fails to file annual returns for 3 consecutive years, the MCA disqualifies the directors for 5 years. You cannot incorporate a new company or act as a director elsewhere.

Compounding Daily Penalties

Even if your company has ZERO revenue, you are legally required to file Auditor's Reports and MCA Returns every year. Non-filing incurs compounding penalties of ₹100 per day. Striking off completely freezes this liability.

Stop Financial Drain

An inactive company costs money. You have to pay fees for yearly statutory audits, maintaining the registered office address, bank account minimum balance charges, and professional fees. Closure cuts these expenses to zero.

Protection from Scrutiny

Active companies are subject to routine scrutiny by the Income Tax Department and GST authorities. A formally "Struck Off" company is legally dissolved and removed from the register, offering complete peace of mind.

How It Works

The Formal Closure Process

We meticulously handle the drafting, CA certifications, and MCA submissions. A typical strike-off takes 3 to 4 months for final government approval.

Step 1: Check Eligibility & Clear Dues

Your company must not have started business within 1 year of incorporation, OR must not have done business for the last 2 years. The company bank account MUST be closed with zero balance.

Step 2: Statement of Accounts

Our Chartered Accountant prepares a specific "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 officially close the company. All directors must sign an Indemnity Bond (Form STK-3) and an Affidavit (Form STK-4) confirming there are no pending dues.

Step 4: STK-2 Filing & Gazette

We e-file Form STK-2. The ROC verifies the form and publishes a public notice in the Official Gazette. If no objections are received within 30 days, the company is officially struck off.

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.
