Company Strike-Off Application and Closure Review
An inactive company needs an eligibility and compliance review before applying for strike-off. TaxQue helps review the business status, assets, liabilities, filings and member approvals and prepare the agreed STK-2 application work. Share the company master data and outstanding obligations when enquiring.
Strike-off is different from liquidation or insolvency and is not a way to leave unresolved liabilities behind. Confirm the accounts, overdue filings, declarations, professional certification and application support included. The competent authority decides the application, and earlier liabilities or proceedings can require separate attention.
What is Company Strike-Off Support?
Check eligibility and outstanding obligations: Review company status, assets, debts, filings, charges, disputes and any statutory restriction before applying.
Prepare the required approvals and records: Organise member consent or resolutions, current accounts and the prescribed supporting declarations and documents.
Keep the closure route distinct: STK-2 strike-off support does not include insolvency, liquidation, litigation or settlement of liabilities unless separately engaged.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers about Company Strike-Off Support
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.
