    Short answer

    A company can apply to the Registrar of Companies to remove its name from the register under Section 248 using Form STK-2, if it has not carried on business for the last two financial years, has no assets or liabilities, and 75 percent of its members approve. Annual filings, GST and bank accounts usually need to be cleared first. The MCA's one-time fee relief scheme for closure (CCFS-2026) has ended, so normal fees apply.

    Last updated 3 November 2026. Rules, fees and forms change, so confirm the current position on the official portal before you act.

    Avoid preventable delays, rework and scope gaps.

    These issues commonly surface after a commercial commitment, deadline or authority query has already created time pressure.
    01

    Starting without an applicability check

    This can select the wrong form, authority or document route.

    02

    Using inconsistent source data

    Conflicts create queries and correction work.

    RISK CONTROL

    Small input errors can create larger commercial or compliance consequences.

    Review the requirement early, disclose accurate facts and retain a complete approval and completion trail.
    • Delay exposureLate action may narrow options or add cost.
    • Rejection or queryIncomplete or inconsistent records can trigger follow-up.

    Who can use strike-off

    Strike-off is meant for a company that has stopped business and has nothing left to settle. It does not work for a company that still has assets, loans, pending court cases or unpaid dues. Those companies need a different closure route, such as voluntary winding up.

    • No business activity in the preceding two financial years, and no application for dormant status.
    • No assets or liabilities, and bank accounts closed.
    • A special resolution or the consent of members holding at least 75 percent of paid-up capital.
    • No pending prosecutions or investigations against the company.
    • GST registration cancelled and tax dues cleared where the company was registered.

    What the application needs

    You file STK-2 on the MCA portal with an indemnity bond, affidavits, a statement of accounts that is current, and the member and board approvals. The ROC then publishes a notice, and if no objection is found, the company name is struck off in the Gazette. Fee and form details change, so check the MCA fee schedule on the day you file.

    Closure fee scheme update

    MCA ran a time-limited scheme (CCFS-2026) under General Circular 01/2026, extended by later circulars, which reduced the STK-2 fee and cut additional fees on pending annual filings. The window closed in September 2026. Companies that did not use it now pay full fees and additional fees. Confirm the latest position on the MCA website before you plan a closure.

    How to strike off a company

    1. 1

      Check eligibility

      Confirm two years of no business, nil assets and liabilities.

    2. 2

      Close the books

      File pending annual returns, cancel GST and close bank accounts.

    3. 3

      Pass the approvals

      Get the board resolution and 75 percent member approval.

    4. 4

      Prepare the documents

      Draft the indemnity bond, affidavits and current statement of accounts.

    5. 5

      File STK-2

      Submit the form with the fee on the MCA portal.

    6. 6

      Watch the notice

      The ROC publishes a notice and then strikes off the name if there is no objection.

    Common mistakes to avoid

    • Applying while annual returns are still pending, which the ROC may reject.
    • Leaving a bank account open or money in it, which breaks the nil assets condition.
    • Forgetting to cancel GST registration and file the GSTR-10 final return.
    • Not telling creditors, employees and tax authorities, then facing claims after strike-off.
    • Expecting a restoration to be easy later. Restoring a struck-off company is a tribunal process.
