What it is
Strike-off, explained in plain English.
Voluntary strike-off is the simplest way to close a company that is not carrying on business. Under Section 248(2) of the Companies Act 2013, the company applies to the ROC in Form STK-2 to remove its name from the register. To qualify, the company must have nil or settled liabilities, all overdue annual filings completed, and a board and special resolution approving the closure. Each director files an affidavit (STK-4) and an indemnity bond (STK-3), and a statement of accounts (STK-8) certified by a CA is attached.
TL;DR
If the company is inactive with no liabilities, file STK-2 with the resolutions, affidavits, indemnity bonds and a certified statement of accounts to have it struck off.
