Incorporation
We prepare and file your company's STK-2 voluntary strike-off application: board and shareholder resolutions, the STK-3 indemnity bond and STK-4 affidavit for every director, and coordination of your CA-certified statement of accounts, so your defunct Pvt Ltd company is legally closed instead of quietly racking up filing penalties. This is only for a company that can honestly certify nil assets and nil liabilities. If yours has real assets or debts to settle, you need a registered Insolvency Professional instead, and we'll tell you that upfront rather than take on a filing we can't honestly deliver.
Closing a Pvt Ltd company properly means a board resolution, a special resolution, a notarised affidavit and indemnity bond from every director, and a CA-certified statement of accounts dated within 30 days of filing. Get any one of those wrong and the ROC sends STK-2 back. We handle the whole sequence, and we're upfront about the one thing that has to be true before we take the engagement: your company has to be able to certify nil assets and nil liabilities, honestly.
STK-2 is the voluntary strike-off filing under Section 248(2) of the Companies Act. It's the right route for a company that has nothing left, no assets to distribute, no debts to settle, and nobody planning to use it again.
The government fee is Rs 10,000, and has been since 2019. A time-limited MCA scheme currently cuts that to Rs 2,500 for companies only, through 31 August 2026. We'll confirm at the time of your filing whether that window is still open, since we're not going to quote you a scheme discount that's already lapsed.
Filed under Section 248(2), once your resolutions and supporting documents are in order.
The resolutions that authorise the application in the first place: board approval, then a special resolution or 75%+ member consent by value.
STK-4 is a notarised affidavit confirming no dues. STK-3 is a notarised indemnity bond on stamp paper. Every director signs both.
We don't certify your accounts ourselves. We coordinate the CA certification the ROC requires, dated within 30 days of filing, which is a strict cutoff the ROC doesn't bend on.
This service is only for a company that can honestly certify nil assets and nil liabilities on the STK-4 affidavit. If your company has real assets to distribute or real debts to settle, that certification wouldn't be true, and STK-2 is the wrong filing. You need voluntary liquidation under the IBC, run by a registered Insolvency Professional. We'll tell you that directly rather than take on a filing we can't honestly deliver.
The Rs 10,000 government fee is rarely the number that matters. Before the ROC accepts STK-2, every overdue AOC-4 and MGT-7 up to your company's last active financial year has to be filed, and each one carries its own late-fee slab. A company that stopped filing three years ago isn't a flat-fee job. We review your filing history first and tell you what catching up actually costs before we quote a timeline.
Filing STK-2 while your GST registration is still active is a common rejection reason. If you haven't cancelled GST yet, that has to happen first, REG-16 application, the Rule 44 ITC reversal, and the REG-19 cancellation order in hand, before we file your strike-off. We run that as a separate engagement through our GST cancellation service if you haven't started it.
Tip
CCFS-2026, an MCA scheme in force since 15 April 2026, cuts the STK-2 fee to Rs 2,500 for companies, 25% of the standard Rs 10,000. It's scheduled to close 31 August 2026. We'll check the scheme is still live at the time we file, and we won't quote you a discount that's already expired.
Step 1 of 4
Filing history reviewed
We check your AOC-4/MGT-7 history and flag exactly what's overdue and what it costs to bring current.
Common mistakes founders make
Rs 10,000 standard, since a 2019 rule change doubled it from Rs 5,000. A live MCA scheme, CCFS-2026, currently cuts that to Rs 2,500 for companies, through 31 August 2026. We confirm the scheme is still open before quoting the discounted figure.
Not directly. The overdue AOC-4/MGT-7 filings have to be brought current first. That catch-up is usually the largest cost in the whole process, and we scope it before we quote a timeline.
Yes. Filing strike-off with GST still active is a common rejection reason. We sequence GST cancellation ahead of the STK-2 filing if it isn't already done.
Then STK-2 isn't the right filing. You need voluntary liquidation under the IBC with a registered Insolvency Professional, and we'll say so rather than accept an engagement we can't honestly deliver.

What Happens If You Just Stop Filing: Director Disqualification and Restoring a Struck-Off Company
Section 164(2) hits directors personally, and faster than most people expect. Here's the order things actually happen in, and what it takes to get a struck-off company back.
How to Actually Close a Company in India: Strike-Off vs Dormant vs Liquidation
Strike-off, dormant status, and voluntary liquidation are three different routes with three different rulebooks. The government fee is almost never what decides your cost. Years of overdue filings usually are.
