Closing a company legally under the Companies Act, 2013 requires proper compliance with the strike-off procedure prescribed by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA). One of the most commonly used methods is voluntary strike-off through Form STK-2, which allows companies to remove their name from the Register of Companies (ROC).
Company strike-off is the process of removing a company's name from the ROC register, resulting in the company being dissolved. Once struck off, the company ceases to exist legally.
Pass resolution for strike-off and authorize directors.
Ensure all dues, liabilities and statutory obligations are settled.
Draft indemnity bond, affidavit and financial statements.
Submit STK-2 on MCA portal with prescribed fees.
ROC reviews application and publishes notice.
Company name removed from register and dissolved.
The prescribed filing fee for STK-2 is ₹10,000.
Strike-off through STK-2 is an efficient way to close inactive companies, but it requires careful compliance with MCA rules and documentation. Improper filing or missing compliance may lead to rejection or future legal complications.
