Determine the best route to close or deactivate your company — voluntary strike-off (STK-2), compulsory strike-off by ROC, NCLT winding up, or dormant status under Section 455.
Winding up of an Indian company can occur through three routes: (a) voluntary liquidation under Section 59 of IBC; (b) NCLT-driven winding up under Sections 271-273 of the Companies Act; (c) fast-track strike-off under Section 248 (Form STK-2) for inactive companies meeting prescribed conditions.
Cost components: Insolvency Professional fees (for IBC route); legal and professional fees; NCLT court fees; advertising costs (gazette and newspaper); statutory filings; and any tax / regulatory settlements at closure. Strike-off route is materially cheaper but only available where company has no liabilities.
