Timeline
30-day public notice, then the order
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.
TL;DR
Overdue AOC-4 and MGT-7A must be filed before the strike off application - the Registrar will not process STK-2 for a company with pending annual filings. The sequence for a dormant OPC with a backlog is: file the overdue annual returns at 10 per cent of additional fee, then file STK-2 at 25 per cent of fee, both inside the CCFS-2026 window.
Form STK-2
The application for voluntary removal of the company's name from the register under Section 248(2).
Form STK-3 and STK-4

Form MSC-1
The application for dormant status - the alternative to closure where the owner wants to keep the company alive. Available at 50 per cent of fee under CCFS-2026.
