Close your Private Limited Company the right way

- Companies with no business activity for two years or more
- Founders who have moved on to a different venture
- Companies wanting to avoid ongoing compliance costs
Overview
What is Private Limited Company Winding Up?
An inactive company still has annual compliance, and missed filings lead to penalties and director disqualification. If the company is no longer needed, a formal closure is the cleaner option.
The most common route is a strike-off application under Section 248(2) of the Companies Act, 2013, filed in Form STK-2. Solvent companies with assets can also choose voluntary liquidation under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code. We recommend the right route and complete the process.
