Real Situations We've Helped Close Out
No legal jargon — just plain examples of the kind of company closures we handle every week.
A founder registered a private limited company for an idea that never got off the ground. No income, no expenses, no employees — just paperwork sitting untouched for three years. Because the company was still technically "active" on record, annual compliance and penalties kept piling up every single year, even though nothing was happening inside it.
What we did: Checked eligibility, prepared the STK-2 strike-off form, filed the affidavits and indemnity bonds, and got the company officially closed in about 4 months.
Result: No more annual filings, no more mounting penalties, and a clean legal exit.
See if your company qualifies →A shop owner sold his physical business but never realized the private limited company that legally owned it was still active with the ROC. Years later, he received a notice for unpaid penalties on filings he didn't even know he owed.
What we did: Reviewed and cleared the pending compliance status, prepared the closure documents, and filed for strike-off on his behalf.
Result: The old company was formally struck off, and the growing penalty was stopped for good.
See if your company qualifies →Two friends co-founded a company, but the business never took off and they simply wanted a clean, amicable exit rather than dealing with disputes over shares or ongoing liability.
What we did: Coordinated board resolutions and director sign-offs from both founders, then filed the joint closure application with the ROC.
Result: A smooth, dispute-free closure with no lingering liability for either founder.
See if your company qualifies →A larger business group had set up a subsidiary years ago for a project that never launched. It sat dormant, adding unnecessary compliance overhead across their group structure.
What we did: Ran an eligibility check across the group's records, handled parent-company approvals, and completed the strike-off filing for the unused subsidiary.
Result: A simpler, leaner group structure with one less entity to file for every year.

Everything you need to know before you close a company through the ROC strike-off process.
Strike-off is the legal process of removing a company's name from the Registrar of Companies (ROC) register, formally closing the business. It is governed by Section 248 of the Companies Act and is the fastest way to close a company that has no assets, liabilities, or ongoing business activity.
Once all documents are submitted correctly, the strike-off process typically takes 3 to 6 months. This includes document verification, ROC filing, the mandatory public notice period, and final gazette publication.
You will generally need board resolution copies, indemnity bonds, an affidavit from directors, a statement of accounts certified by a chartered accountant, PAN and identity proofs, and Form STK-2. Our team reviews your specific case and shares an exact checklist during the first consultation.
A company is generally eligible if it has not carried on business for the last two financial years, has no outstanding liabilities, and has already filed for dormant status where applicable. We evaluate eligibility for free as part of Step 2 of our process.
Pricing depends on your company's compliance history and the number of pending filings. We offer transparent, affordable packages with no hidden fees — request a free consultation for an exact quote.
Once ROC approves the application, the company's name is published in the official gazette and removed from the register. The company ceases to exist as a legal entity, and directors are relieved of ongoing compliance obligations for that entity.
