Strike Off

[Advocate Rashi Gupta]

Dear All,

I have a query regarding strike off. The company was incorporated in October 2024. The bank account was opened and INC-20A was filed. However, there is no revenue or any other business transaction till date. As per the MCA notification of May 2023, we can file the STK-2 application without the annual compliance. But is the company also not required to show any AGM in respect of FY 2024-25, Or file ADT-1 for 5 years? Please guide. Thank you.

Hello Rashi,

in the above situation:

1. no need to hold any AGM

2. no need to file any ADT 1

You can directly go for strike off of company.

Dear Mr Divesh, 

Under which section/ rule of Companies Act, the company need not hold AGM and need not file ADT 1 in this particular case?

The leverage given is for filing of returns and not for other mandatory compliances..

Government is very lenient if you want closure of the company.

They will not ask you for all these things. Its just like easy exit scheme

dear madam,

In my Opinion

the FAQ states that filing needs to be done as long as there are business operations in the company.

Business Operations means SALE / PURCHASE etc. If there are no operations in the company, there is no need to file for those years.

As per my opinion or observation :

even if the company had no activity,you are required to file all pending returns up to the year of cessation before applying for strike off (STK-2).

Hi All,

I am in the process of applying for the strike-off of a private limited company that has two directors.

One of the directors’ DIN is currently deactivated. I would like to seek your clarification on whether it is permissible to proceed with the strike-off application by activating only one director’s DIN, without reactivating the other director’s DIN.

Kindly advise on the applicable requirements and whether any additional steps are necessary in this regard.

Thank you for your assistance.

[Monika Goyal]

Both directors DIN need to be reactivated before filing the STK 2 application.

Warm Regards!
