Overview
Leaving an entity dormant keeps the filing obligations — and penalties — running. We manage the full process: eligibility check, board and shareholder approvals, statement of accounts and Form STK-2 (or the LLP equivalent) through to the ROC's final approval.
The result is a clean, documented closure rather than an entity that keeps accruing liability.
What's included
- Eligibility review
- Board & shareholder resolutions
- Closure statement of accounts
- STK-2 (or LLP Form 24) filing
- Follow-up to final approval
How we approach it
Frequently asked questions
When can a company be struck off?
Broadly, when it has no assets/liabilities and is not carrying on business, with pending filings cleared first.
Is it better than leaving the company dormant?
Almost always — a dormant company still accrues filing obligations and penalties.
How long does strike-off take?
Typically a few months, depending on ROC processing.
What documents are needed for STK-2?
An indemnity bond, statement of accounts not older than 30 days, an affidavit from directors, and board/shareholder resolutions, among others.
Can a company with a bank loan be struck off?
Generally no — outstanding liabilities including loans must be settled or the company isn't eligible for strike-off.
Is strike-off reversible?
The ROC or NCLT can restore a struck-off company in specific circumstances, but this is meant to be a final closure route, not a temporary pause.
