Close your company or LLP through strike-off (for inactive entities with no liabilities) or winding up (formal liquidation). We handle voluntary strike-off applications, ROC-initiated strike-off objections, winding up petitions before NCLT, and LLP closure under the LLP Act. Proper closure avoids ongoing compliance burden and director/partner liability.
Share your details and we'll assess the best closure route and quote.
Strike-off removes the company/LLP name from the ROC register when the entity is inactive with no assets or liabilities. It is simpler and faster (typically 3–6 months). Companies apply in Form STK-2; LLPs apply in Form 24. For companies, ROC can also initiate strike-off under Section 248 for non-filing. Winding up is a formal liquidation process—assets are sold, liabilities settled, and the entity dissolved. It requires NCLT approval and is used when the entity has assets, liabilities, or creditor obligations. We guide you on the right route and handle the complete process.

Strike-off is for inactive entities with no assets or liabilities—the name is removed from the ROC register. It's simpler and faster (3–6 months). Winding up is a formal liquidation where assets are sold and liabilities settled; it requires NCLT approval and is used when the entity has assets, creditors, or ongoing obligations.
No. Pending annual returns, financial statements, and tax dues must be cleared before applying for strike-off. We help you file belated returns and obtain necessary clearances. ROC may reject the application if compliances are pending.
Typically 3–6 months from the date of application, subject to ROC processing and no objections. ROC may publish a notice; if no objection is received within the specified period, the name is struck off. Winding up takes longer due to NCLT process and liquidation steps.
Yes, but after a cooling-off period. For companies, the name can be used by a new company after 5 years from the date of strike-off. For LLPs, similar rules apply. We can advise on name availability when you plan to incorporate again.
You can object to the strike-off notice and file pending returns to avoid strike-off. If the company is already struck off, you can apply for revival under Section 252 before NCLT within 20 years. We assist with objections, belated filings, and revival applications.
