Company Strike-Off in India 2026

Company Strike-Off from KAMRIT. Senior expert accountability, transparent fixed-fee pricing, 100% online delivery across India.

Thousands of dormant private limited companies across India sit on the MCA register with no activity, no filings, and mounting compliance risk. Under Section 248 of the Companies Act 2013, the Registrar of Companies has the power to strike a company off the register, and directors who fail to act face penalties ranging from ₹50,000 to ₹5 lakh plus potential disqualification under Section 164(2). Yet many promoters assume that simply stopping operations ends their obligations. It does not. An inactive company that misses annual return filings under Section 92 and financial statement filings under Section 137 accrues penalties that compound annually, and the Registrar can initiate suo motu strike-off proceedings without notice to the directors. KAMRIT Financial Services LLP handles the complete Company Strike-Off lifecycle: from ROC compliance audit and CBIC/GST clearance to Form STK-2 filing, newspaper publication coordination, and final MCA21 registry update. You stop the compliance drain; we close the chapter cleanly and officially.

What is Company Strike-Off in India 2026?

Company Strike-Off is the legal process of removing a registered company's name from the Register of Companies maintained by the Registrar of Companies under the Ministry of Corporate Affairs. The primary legal basis is Section 248 of the Companies Act 2013, read with the Companies (Registration of Offices and Administration) Rules 2014. The Registrar may also suo motu strike off a name under Section 248(2) if the company has failed to commence its business within one year of incorporation, or has not been carrying on business for two consecutive financial years, or has failed to file annual returns and financial statements for two consecutive financial years under Sections 92, 137, and 210. A company may also apply for voluntary strike-off by passing a Special Resolution under Section 248(1). The MCA21 portal (mca.gov.in) is the sole online interface for filing Form STK-2. The strike-off does not absolve directors or promoters of any pending tax liabilities, statutory dues, or ongoing litigations, it merely closes the corporate entity on the register. The Income Tax Act 1961, the CGST Act 2017, and the EPF Act 1952 operate independently of the strike-off and continue to pursue any outstanding dues.

Who needs this

Strike-off eligibility depends on the company's operational and filing history. The criteria below apply under Section 248 read with Rule 4 of the Companies (Registration of Offices and Administration) Rules 2014.

The company has not commenced its business within one year of incorporation under Section 10(1)(a) of the Companies Act 2013.
The company has not carried on any business for two consecutive financial years under Section 248(2)(a).
The company has failed to file annual returns (Form MGT-7) under Section 92 for two consecutive financial years.
The company has failed to file financial statements (Form AOC-4) under Section 137 for two consecutive financial years.
The company has not filed Form INC-22A (Active PAN Compliance) with the MCA within the prescribed timeline.
All outstanding statutory dues under the CGST Act 2017, EPF Act 1952, and ESI Act 1948 have been cleared or a satisfactory settlement is reached with the respective department.
The company has no pending prosecution, winding-up petition, or revival proceedings before the NCLT.
The company has passed a Special Resolution for voluntary strike-off under Section 248(1) where the company itself initiates the process.
There are no investigations or inspections pending under Section 206, 207, 208, or 209 of the Companies Act 2013.
The company does not hold any assets including bank accounts, immovable property, or investments at the time of strike-off application.

How KAMRIT runs it, step by step

The strike-off process has a defined sequence of compliance checks, form filings, and regulatory waits. KAMRIT manages every stage from your kickoff meeting to the final MCA Gazette publication.

ROC Compliance Audit and Pre-Filing Health Check. KAMRIT conducts a full MCA portal screening of the company's filing history. This identifies every pending Form MGT-7 (annual return), Form AOC-4 (financial statements), Form INC-22A, and any DIN deactivation risks. Simultaneously, we pull GST return status from the GST portal and check EPF/ESI compliance. This audit determines the exact gap-fill cost and whether the company is eligible to proceed. Timeline: 3 to 5 working days from document receipt.
Board Meeting, Special Resolution, and Form MGT-14 Filing. A Board Meeting is convened to recommend the strike-off and fix the date for a General Meeting to pass the Special Resolution under Section 248(1). The Special Resolution is filed with MCA within 30 days in Form MGT-14. Directors' DINs are verified and reactivated if inactive. Timeline: 5 to 7 working days.
Arrear Filings and Statutory Clearances. All identified pending filings (Form MGT-7 and Form AOC-4 for each unfilled financial year) are prepared and filed. KAMRIT coordinates CBIC/GST portal deregistration and obtains confirmation. EPF and ESI closures are processed if applicable. The company must have no pending statutory dues. Timeline: 10 to 20 working days depending on the number of unfilled years.
Form STK-2 Drafting and Submission on MCA21. KAMRIT prepares and certifies Form STK-2 with all attachments including Form STK-3 (notarised affidavit), director declarations, and the Special Resolution. Form STK-2 is submitted on the MCA21 portal. The ROC acknowledges receipt and assigns a strike-off file number. Government fee of ₹500 is paid through MCA portal. Timeline: 3 to 5 working days from clearance confirmation.
ROC Examination and Objection Window. The ROC reviews the application for completeness and compliance. If satisfied, the ROC issues a public notice in the Official Gazette and in at least two newspapers (one in English, one in regional language) inviting objections within 30 days. This is the longest regulator-controlled stage of the process. Timeline: 45 to 90 days from Form STK-2 acceptance.
MCA Gazette Publication and Registry Update. If no objections are received within the 30-day window, the ROC passes an order striking the company's name off the Register of Companies and publishes the same in the Official Gazette. The MCA21 registry is updated to reflect 'Struck Off' status. KAMRIT delivers the Gazette extract and MCA confirmation to the client. Timeline: 5 to 10 working days after the objection window closes.

Timeline

The end-to-end timeline from KAMRIT kickoff to Gazette confirmation runs 5 to 8 months in straightforward cases. The pre-filing compliance audit and arrear filings take 3 to 5 weeks, this stage is KAMRIT-controlled and moves at documentation speed. Form STK-2 submission to ROC acknowledgement takes 5 to 10 working days. The ROC's own examination, newspaper publication coordination, and 30-day statutory objection window are regulator-controlled and typically span 45 to 90 days depending on the ROC's caseload and the financial year-end (March and September are high-queue periods). Companies with multiple unfilled years or GST/EPF clearance complications should budget an additional 4 to 8 weeks. The MCA Gazette publication and final registry update confirm strike-off within 10 working days of the objection window expiry. KAMRIT's committed turnaround on its own deliverables is 45 working days from complete documentation receipt.

How our pricing compares

KAMRIT's Company Strike-Off service is priced at a starting fee of ₹11,899 for companies with clean filing histories and minimal arrear filings. This covers the ROC compliance audit, Form STK-2 and STK-3 preparation and submission, MCA portal coordination, government fee payment, and Gazette follow-up until confirmation. The fee excludes government filing fees for arrear Form MGT-7 and Form AOC-4 (₹200 per form per year on MCA portal), notarised affidavit charges, and newspaper publication costs (₹3,000 to ₹8,000 depending on publication). Government fee for Form STK-2 is ₹500 per filing. IndiaFilings prices Company Strike-Off between ₹13,999 and ₹18,999 with similar exclusions. Vakilsearch charges ₹14,999 to ₹24,999 depending on company vintage and filing arrears. ClearTax quotes ₹12,999 to ₹22,999 primarily for IT-return filers and may not include ROC arrear filing services. LegalRaasta offers strike-off starting at ₹9,999 but charges separately for each arrear filing and form, with limited end-to-end coordination. KAMRIT's pricing is justified because the ₹11,899 fee is a fixed project price that bundles pre-filing audit, coordination, and MCA follow-up, unlike competitors who charge per-form or add escalation charges when filing history is complex. The fee is transparent and confirmed in writing before work begins. Government fees and third-party costs are quoted separately and clearly.

Common mistakes KAMRIT avoids

Strike-off applications fail or get delayed when promoters assume that stopping operations ends their obligations. The mistakes below are the most frequent reasons KAMRIT sees applications returned or struck off by ROC without resolution.

Filing Form STK-2 without first clearing all pending Form MGT-7 and Form AOC-4 arrear filings, the ROC rejects incomplete applications under Rule 5 of the Companies (Registration of Offices and Administration) Rules 2014.
Assuming GST deregistration is automatic, Form GST REG-16 must be filed separately on the GST portal; the company remains GST-liable for all periods until deregistration is confirmed.
Leaving the bank account open, a struck-off company cannot operate bank accounts, and open accounts create complications during ROC verification.
Missing the 30-day objection window, creditors, employees, or regulatory bodies can object, and if valid objections are received, the strike-off is refused and revival becomes expensive.
Not filing Form IEPF-2 before strike-off, unpaid dividends and shares must be transferred to the Investor Education and Protection Fund; failure to do so attracts penalty under the IEPF Rules.
Passing only a Board Resolution for voluntary strike-off, Section 248(1) specifically requires a Special Resolution or a majority of directors' consent in writing if the company has no members.
Ignoring pending NCLT proceedings, if a winding-up petition is admitted before the NCLT, the ROC cannot strike off the company until the matter is disposed of.
Underestimating director disqualification risk, directors of companies struck off under Section 248(2) for non-filing can be disqualified under Section 164(2) for five years.
