FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers about Company Winding Up

Company Strike-Off under Section 248(2) of the Companies Act, 2013, is the official legal procedure for the voluntary closure and removal of an inactive or defunct Private Limited Company from the MCA Register of Companies. It is the fastest, most cost-effective way to legally close a non-operating company without undergoing tedious court liquidation.

A company can apply under Form STK-2 if: (1) It failed to commence business within 1 year of incorporation, OR (2) It has not carried on any business or operation for 2 immediately preceding financial years and has not applied for Dormant status under Section 455. The company must have zero assets and zero liabilities on the date of application.

Voluntary Strike-Off under STK-2 is a fast-track administrative route for companies with zero debts and assets, taking 3 to 6 months. Formal Court Winding-Up (under IBC/NCLT) involves appointing an official liquidator, advertising in newspapers, settling multi-crore creditor claims, and takes 1 to 3 years. TaxQue handles fast-track STK-2 closures.

You need: (1) Statement of Accounts in Form STK-8 (showing zero assets and zero liabilities) certified by a practicing Chartered Accountant (< 30 days old), (2) Indemnity Bond in Form STK-3 signed by all directors, (3) Affidavits in Form STK-4 by directors, (4) Special Resolution passed by 75% shareholders, and (5) Bank Account Closure Certificate.

Your closure is managed by a senior Company Secretary and practicing Chartered Accountant. We ensure all secretarial resolutions, STK-8 statement of accounts, director affidavits, and ROC liaison are executed with zero legal exposure.
