ROC strike-off via STK-2 in FY 2026-27: ineligible defects that get applications rejected

The Registrar of Companies has tightened scrutiny on Section 248 voluntary strike-off applications through the early part of FY 2026-27, driven by a backlog of incomplete filings.

The seven ineligibility tests under Section 249 are the gatekeeper. Any activity in the three months preceding the STK-2 filing that falls into one of seven categories disqualifies the application.

KAMRIT Corporate Compliance desk runs a pre-filing diagnostic against the seven ineligibility tests and prepares the full STK-2 package.
