Close Your Company Legally in Delhi
Officially close your inactive or defunct Private Limited Company or LLP in Delhi through Fast Track Exit (FTE) mode under Section 248 of Companies Act 2013. Comtax Business Consultants in Paschim Vihar, West Delhi handle complete strike-off services — STK-2 filing, indemnity bonds, affidavits, CA-certified nil accounts, ROC coordination, and legal closure support for businesses across Delhi NCR.
Fast Track Exit
Quickest way to close defunct companies under Section 248 — 3-4 months.
Peace of Mind
Free yourself from annual filings, penalties, and compliance stress forever.
Avoid Prosecution
Prevents legal action against directors for non-compliance of dormant companies.
Why Close Your Company Officially?
Simply stopping business is not enough — legal closure is mandatory to protect directors.
Permanent Legal Closure
Company strike off permanently removes your company from MCA's active records. Once dissolved, there are no annual ROC filings, no auditor fees, no compliance obligations, and no future penalties. This is the only proper legal method to permanently close a company in India.
Stop Annual Compliance Costs
Inactive companies continue accumulating annual ROC filing costs, auditor fees, and penalties even if no business operations exist. Strike off eliminates these recurring financial burdens permanently.
Avoid Penalties & Director Disqualification
Failure to file annual returns for multiple years can lead to ₹100/day penalties and automatic director disqualification under Section 164(2). Timely strike off protects directors from legal complications and DIN deactivation.
Fast Track Exit Process
Fast Track Exit (STK-2) is significantly quicker than formal winding up. Most eligible inactive companies can complete the strike-off process within 3-4 months subject to ROC approval and public notice clearance.
Protect Director DIN & Future Eligibility
Directors associated with non-compliant companies risk DIN deactivation and restriction from becoming directors in other companies. Voluntary strike off helps maintain clean compliance records and protects professional eligibility.
Clean Financial & Legal Record
Properly closing a company through legal strike off demonstrates responsible corporate governance. Banks, investors, and future business partners view legally closed companies far more favorably than abandoned non-compliant entities.

Company Strike Off FAQs — Delhi
Everything you need to know about legally closing your company in Delhi.
What is the difference between Strike Off and Winding Up?
Strike Off (Section 248 FTE) is an administrative removal of defunct companies from MCA register — no court involvement, 3-4 month process, only for companies with nil assets and liabilities. Winding Up involves NCLT — mandatory if company has assets to distribute or disputes to resolve. For truly inactive Delhi companies, Strike Off is always preferred.
Can a company with pending GST returns apply for strike off?
No. Before filing STK-2, all pending GST returns must be filed (even nil returns for inactive periods) and any GST liability must be cleared. The GST department can raise objections during the RoC's public notice period. Comtax helps Delhi companies file all pending GST returns before initiating the strike off process.
What happens to pending income tax liability during strike off?
All income tax liabilities must be cleared before strike off. The Income Tax Department is notified during the public notice period and can object if there are pending demands. Directors remain personally liable for company tax dues even after strike off if they were directors when the liability arose. Ensure all ITRs are filed before applying.
Can a struck-off company be revived?
Yes. Under Section 252 of Companies Act 2013, a struck-off company can be restored to the register within 20 years of strike off by applying to NCLT. The company, its members, or creditors can apply for restoration if the strike off was done wrongly or if restoration is just and equitable. Comtax can assist with company revival applications.
What is the cost of company strike off in Delhi?
Government filing fee for STK-2 is ₹10,000. Additional costs include CA certification for nil accounts (₹3,000–₹5,000), stamp paper for indemnity bonds (₹1,000), affidavit notarization, and Comtax professional fees. Contact our Paschim Vihar office for a complete cost breakdown based on your company's specific situation.
How long after incorporation can a company apply for strike off?
A company that has not commenced business can apply after 1 year from incorporation. A company that commenced business but became inactive can apply after 2 consecutive financial years of nil business activity. There is no maximum time limit — though accumulated penalties for non-filing must be cleared first.
