Winding Up of a Company a clean, lawful exit.
End-to-end company winding up and closure services in Mumbai and across India — voluntary strike-off under Section 248, fast-track exit, settlement of liabilities, and final ROC filings for private limited companies, LLPs, and OPCs.
Winding up is the legal process of formally closing a company and removing its name from the Register of Companies. A company may be wound up because it never commenced business, has become dormant, has fulfilled its purpose, or because the promoters wish to exit. Closing properly matters — a company that is simply abandoned continues to accrue compliance penalties and exposes its directors to disqualification.
The most common route for a solvent, inactive company is voluntary strike-off under Section 248 of the Companies Act, 2013. The company first clears all liabilities and closes its bank accounts, passes a special resolution, obtains consent from creditors, and then files Form STK-2 with the Registrar of Companies along with an indemnity bond and affidavits from the directors. The Registrar publishes a public notice and, if there is no objection, strikes the company off.
Our company winding up practice manages the entire closure — eligibility assessment, settlement and verification of liabilities, board and shareholder resolutions, statement of accounts, STK-2 filing, indemnity bonds, affidavits, and follow-up until the strike-off is confirmed. We assess whether strike-off, voluntary liquidation, or another route best fits the company's situation and execute it cleanly.
