ALERT: Keeping a dormant company active costs ₹10,000+ annually in compliance. Close it now to save money.

Why Wind Up?

Stop Losses

Inactive companies still incur costs for Audits, AOC-4, and MGT-7. Winding up stops these recurring expenses instantly.

Director Immunity

Formal closure via STK-2 ensures Directors are not disqualified (DIR-3 KYC) or held liable for future non-compliance.

Clean Record

Officially removing the name from the ROC register prevents the company from being marked as 'Strike Off by ROC' (Default).

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the eligibility criteria for Strike Off (STK-2)?

The company should not have carried on any business for 2 years (or since incorporation) AND must have extinguished all its assets and liabilities. It should not have any pending litigation.

Do we need to file Annual Returns before closing?

Ideally, yes. The ROC expects filing of returns (AOC-4 & MGT-7) up to the date the company was active. However, if there was no business since incorporation, you may apply without filing (subject to ROC discretion).

What is the difference between Strike Off and Winding Up?

Strike Off (STK-2) is a fast, administrative process for defunct companies with zero debt. Winding Up (Liquidation) is a longer judicial process involving a Liquidator to sell assets and pay creditors.
