Striking off a company, STK-2 (fast track exit)

If your company is not doing business and owes nothing, it can be closed by applying to the MCA in STK-2. We check eligibility, file pending returns, prepare the director bonds, affidavits and CA-certified statement, and follow the case until the name is struck off.

Questions people ask
Our company never filed returns. Can we close it directly?
No. File overdue AOC-4 and MGT-7 up to the year business stopped, then apply.

What is the government fee?
₹10,000. The 25% CCFS 2026 rate ended on 31 August 2026.
How long does it take?
Practitioners report about 70 to 90 days at C-PACE, sometimes under two months; queries add time.
Can we apply if the ROC already sent a strike-off notice?
Yes, after filing all pending returns, unless the Registrar has already issued the Sec 248(5) notice.
