Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Strike Off and Winding Up?
Strike Off (STK-2) is an administrative process for dormant companies with no assets/liabilities — faster and cheaper. Winding Up under NCLT is a legal process for companies with assets, debts, or disputes — complex and takes 1–3 years.
Can a company be restored after strike off?
Yes. A company struck off under Section 248 can be restored to the register by filing an application with the NCLT within 20 years for a member or creditor.
What happens to director liability after the company is struck off?
Personal liability for acts committed before the winding up remains. Directors cannot escape personal guarantees on loans or pending litigation through strike off.
How long does fast-track strike off take?
STK-2 review by the ROC typically takes 30–60 working days. The ROC publishes a notice in the Official Gazette and gives 30 days for objections before striking off.
