What it is
OPC strike off, explained in plain English.
Section 248(2) of the Companies Act, 2013 permits a company to apply in Form STK-2 for removal of its name from the register, after extinguishing all its liabilities, by a special resolution or with the consent of seventy-five per cent of members in terms of paid-up capital. For an OPC, that is the consent of the sole member. The company must not have commenced business, or must not have been carrying on business or operation for the preceding two financial years.
