ROC & CORPORATE COMPLIANCE · INDIA
An unused company is not closed simply because trading stops. A voluntary strike-off application under section 248(2) requires an applicable ground, extinguished liabilities and proper approval, together with the other eligibility checks. LIQUETAX can help assess readiness and prepare the agreed STK-2 pack; a company that cannot settle its debts needs a different professional assessment.

ANSWERS BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Need help with your specific situation?
Talk to our teamSection 248(2) requires liabilities to be extinguished before a company-initiated application. Unpaid or disputed obligations need proper resolution and professional assessment; strike off is not a shortcut for avoiding creditors.

The statute provides for a special resolution or consent of 75% of members in terms of paid-up share capital. Keep genuine evidence of the applicable route rather than treating a simple headcount or a Board decision alone as sufficient.

Yes. Section 249 bars an application where specified events occurred in the previous three months, including a name change or an interstate registered-office shift. It also addresses certain activities, disposals and proceedings; screen the actual history.

The current MCA kit routes the company-initiated removal application through the Centre for Processing Accelerated Corporate Exit, or C-PACE. Check current eligibility and attachment requirements before signing.

Under section 248(5), dissolution follows publication of the final striking-off notice in the Official Gazette. The initial application or public-notice stage is not that final event.

No. Section 248 preserves applicable liabilities of directors, officers and members, and section 250 preserves the discharge of obligations. Separate tax, licence and other closure requirements must also be assessed rather than assumed away.

| Question | What matters | Next step |
|---|---|---|
| Ground and eligibility | Record why the statutory strike-off ground applies. | No turnover alone is not an exhaustive eligibility test; check company class, proceedings, filing position and other restrictions. |
| Assets and liabilities | Reconcile balances and extinguish liabilities before applying. | Do not hide tax, employee, creditor or contingent matters behind an inactive bank account. |
| Recent events | Check section 249 before arranging more changes. | A name change or interstate registered-office move in the previous three months can bar the application; other transactions and proceedings also need screening. |
| Owner decision and outcome | Obtain a special resolution or the statutory consent route. | Submission to C-PACE is an application, not immediate dissolution or release from earlier responsibility. |
₹5,000. Professional fee. Applicable GST, government charges and agreed third-party costs are extra.
One specified service engagement. Confirm the applicant, deliverables and exclusions in writing before work starts.
Separate the published professional fee from MCA application charges, pending filings/additional fees, accounts certification, tax work and other agreed costs. No temporary fee concession or closed scheme is assumed to remain available.
Readiness can take longer than preparing STK-2. Filing gaps, settlements, restrictions, public notices, objections and C-PACE processing affect the outcome. Do not stop all compliance or promise a dissolution date merely because an application was submitted.
