Company Closure
If a company is dormant or no longer needed, closing it properly stops the compliance clock and the penalties. We wind it up cleanly — usually via strike-off under Section 248 (Form STK-2) — after clearing pending filings.

Frequently asked questions
When can a company be struck off?
When it has not commenced business, or has had no operations for two financial years, and has cleared its liabilities.
Do I still need to file pending returns?
Yes — overdue annual filings must be regularised before strike-off. We handle both.
Is strike-off the same as winding up?
Strike-off is the simpler route for defunct companies; formal winding-up applies where there are assets/liabilities to settle. We advise on the right path.
