Ready to close your company? We handle the entire strike off process. Clear compliances, file STK-2, and get your company officially closed.
Last reviewed:
Company strike off means closing your company officially with the government. Your company name is removed from the Registrar's list. After strike off, the company no longer exists legally. This is different from just stopping business - strike off is the formal legal closure.
Many entrepreneurs register companies but the business never takes off. Some companies complete their purpose and don't need to continue. Some companies fail after a few years. In all these cases, strike off is the right solution. It removes your company from government records completely.
If you keep an inactive company registered without filing returns, penalties pile up every year. ROC charges Rs 100 per day for late AOC-4 and MGT-7A (per Companies Act, 2013 Section 248). After 2-3 years of non-filing, your penalty alone can cross Rs 1 lakh. Directors also get disqualified under Section 164(2), which means you cannot become a director in any other company either. Striking off early saves you from these growing costs.
Many business owners come to us with companies that have been inactive for 3-5 years with zero filings. We handle these cases regularly. We first clear all the pending compliance, calculate exact penalty amounts, file everything with ROC, and then proceed with the strike off. Even if your situation looks complicated, we can sort it out.
At Quorum, we review your company status for free before quoting a price. We tell you exactly what returns are pending, what penalties apply, and what the total cost will be. No surprises. We handle GST closure, pending returns, and the STK-2 application as one package.

Started a tech company with big dreams. Market didn't respond. Kept filing annual compliance for 3 years. Quorum cleared all compliances and closed company officially. Now I focus on new venture without old company burden.

You cannot strike off if there are pending loans, unpaid vendor bills, or pending legal cases. All liabilities must be cleared first. Strike off is only for companies with zero pending dues.
No. All pending returns must be filed before strike off. This includes AOC-4, MGT-7A, ITR-6, and DIR-3 KYC. We file all pending returns first, then apply for strike off.
If your company has GST registration, you must file a GST cancellation application first. All pending GST returns must be filed too. Only after GST closure can we proceed with company strike off.
Yes, you can apply for revival within 2 years of the strike off order. But revival involves filing with NCLT, costs Rs 25,000-50,000 or more, and takes several months. Think carefully before striking off.
Empty the bank account first. Use the balance to pay pending bills or clear liabilities. The account should show nil or near-nil balance before strike off. Close the bank account after getting the strike off order.
30-90 days depending on pending compliance. First we clear all compliance (15-20 days), then file STK-2 (1-2 days), then government processes it (30-60 days including gazette publication). We give you a clear timeline after review.
All directors must sign the STK-2 application. If any director is unreachable, we may need notarized documents or legal steps. This complicates and delays the process. Contact us with your specific situation.
After strike off, the company legally ceases to exist. You cannot operate the bank account, sign contracts, or employ people under the company name. You receive an official ROC order confirming dissolution.
ROC charges Rs 100 per day per form for late filing. If your company has not filed AOC-4 and MGT-7A for 3 years, the combined penalty can exceed Rs 2 lakh. Striking off early saves you from this growing cost.
Yes. If your company does not file annual returns for 3 consecutive years, all directors get disqualified under Section 164(2). This blocks you from becoming a director in any other company in India.
Yes. We handle these cases regularly for businesses across India. We file all pending returns, pay the accumulated penalties, clear GST if needed, and then file for strike off.
The government fee for STK-2 depends on your company's authorized capital. For most small companies, it is Rs 5,000-10,000. This is on top of our professional fee of Rs 19,999.
Strike off through STK-2 is the cheapest legal way. The alternative is winding up through NCLT, which costs Rs 50,000 or more and takes over a year. STK-2 is faster and more affordable for most small companies.
If ROC has started the process (under Section 248), you can either let it proceed or apply to stop it if you want to keep the company. If you agree with closure, we help you ensure all formalities are completed properly.
Yes, as long as your directors are not disqualified. If directors were disqualified due to non-filing, we fix that first. Once the old company is struck off and directors are cleared, you can register a new company.
A practicing CA or CS must certify the STK-2 application. We have qualified professionals on our team who handle this certification as part of our service. You do not need to arrange a separate CA.
Dormant status keeps the company registered but inactive, with reduced compliance. Strike off permanently closes the company. If you plan to use the company later, choose dormant status. If not, strike off is the clean exit.
The government occasionally runs schemes like CFSS (Company Fresh Start Scheme) that waive late fees. These are temporary and rare. When available, we inform our clients so they can save on penalties before closing.
Before strike off, all pending annual compliance filings must be cleared. We file them.
