Company Strike-Off & Winding Up

Voluntary strike-off of defunct companies under Section 248 (STK-2) and LLP closure under Form 24 — complete closure with all pending compliance cleared.

What is Company Strike-Off & Winding Up?

If your company or LLP is no longer operational and you wish to close it formally, the fastest and most cost-effective route is voluntary strike-off under Section 248 of the Companies Act, 2013 (for companies) or Form 24 (for LLPs). A formally closed entity eliminates ongoing compliance obligations, annual filing requirements, and the risk of penalties for non-filing.

AccentTax Consulting manages the entire strike-off process: clearing all pending MCA filings, obtaining NOCs from tax authorities, preparing the STK-2 application with all required declarations and affidavits, and following up with the Registrar of Companies until the company name is struck off the register.
