About Closure of Company
Overview
If a company is not doing any business, it still has to file annual returns, hold meetings and pay for audits every year. The simplest way to close such a company is voluntary strike off under Section 248(2) of the Companies Act, 2013, by filing Form STK-2 with the Centre for Processing Accelerated Corporate Exit (C-PACE). This route is available where the company has not commenced business within a year of incorporation, or has not carried on business for the last two financial years.
Before filing, the company must:
- File overdue financial statements and annual returns
- Settle all liabilities and close its bank account
- Pass a special resolution or obtain consent of 75 percent of members by paid up capital
Company Mitra checks eligibility, helps clear pending compliances, drafts the indemnity and affidavits of directors, coordinates the CA certified statement of accounts, and files STK-2. We then track the matter until the strike off notice is published in the Official Gazette. Companies with pending litigation, assets or liabilities may instead need winding up.
