Company banayi thi, business nahi chala ya band ho gaya — lekin company abhi bhi MCA records mein 'Active' hai. Bahut log sochte hain ki kuch na karo to company apne aap khatam ho jaayegi. Aisa nahi hai: har saal ROC filings pending hoti rehti hain, penalty badhti hai, aur directors disqualify ho sakte hain. Sahi tareeka hai STK-2 se strike off.

Band na karne ka asli nuksaan
Har saal AOC-4 aur MGT-7 na bharne par per-day additional fee lagti hai jo saalon mein lakhon tak pahunch sakti hai. Lagatar 3 saal filings na hone par company ke directors 5 saal ke liye disqualify ho sakte hain — yaani wo kisi aur company mein bhi director nahi ban sakte. ROC compliance ki dates hamare ROC compliance calendar mein hain.
Strike Off Ya Dormant Status
Agar aap company ko future mein phir se use karna chahte hain (brand name, bank relationships ke liye), to strike off ki jagah dormant company status (Section 455) le sakte hain — isme compliance kam ho jaata hai. Poori tarah band karna hai to STK-2 sahi hai. MCA ne 2026 mein ek compliance facilitation scheme (CCFS-2026) chalayi thi jisme strike off fee mein chhoot thi; wo 31 August 2026 ko khatam ho chuki hai.
LLP band karna ho to process alag hai (Form 24). Company closure ki poori documentation aur filing hamari Company Registration & Compliance team karti hai. Business ke liye bookkeeping band hone tak chalti rahni chahiye taaki closure ke waqt accounts ready hon.
Frequently Asked Questions
Company band karne mein kitna time lagta hai?
STK-2 file hone ke baad C-PACE mein aajkal lagbhag 70-90 din lagte hain, public notice period milakar. Documentation aur pending filings mein pehle alag time lagta hai.
Kya pending annual returns ke saath company band ho sakti hai?
Nahi. STK-2 se pehle pending financial statements aur annual returns file karni padti hain.
Company band na karein to kya hoga?
Har saal ROC filings ki additional fee badhti rahegi, aur 3 saal filings na hone par directors 5 saal ke liye disqualify ho sakte hain.
Kya strike off company ko wapas active kiya ja sakta hai?
Haan, NCLT mein 20 saal ke andar restoration application di ja sakti hai, lekin ye mehnga aur lamba process hai.
Company strike off ke rules Companies Act, 2013 (Section 248) aur Companies (Removal of Names) Rules par based hain aur 24 September 2026 tak verify kiye gaye hain. Current MCA fee aur apne case ke liye humse confirm karein.
