Exit Cleanly — Strike Off Your Dormant Entity Before Penalties Mount
If your company or LLP is no longer operational — business discontinued, merger completed, or simply no longer needed — you have two options for a clean closure: Voluntary Strike Off (faster and simpler) or Formal Winding Up (more complex, typically for companies with significant assets/liabilities). Keeping a dormant entity on the books creates an annual compliance burden (annual filings, director KYC, audit) and cumulative late fees that can reach lakhs over several years.
Voluntary Strike Off under Section 248 of the Companies Act (STK-2 for companies) and Section 75 of the LLP Act (Form 24 for LLPs) allow entities that have not commenced business or have ceased business for more than one year to apply for strike off — provided all outstanding filings are cleared, all dues are paid, and all bank accounts are closed. The MCA publishes a notice in the Gazette and, after the objection period, removes the company/LLP from its register.
VITTAX handles the complete strike-off process — clearing pending filings, preparing the board resolution and shareholder/partner NOC, filing STK-2 or Form 24, and tracking the MCA Gazette notification until the entity is formally dissolved.
