How to Strike Off a Dormant Company (Form STK-2)

Strike-off under Section 248 is for defunct or dormant companies. The company must have no assets and liabilities, no pending litigation, and no open bank accounts. Apply in Form STK-2 on the MCA portal with affidavits from directors, a statement of assets and liabilities certified by a CA, and a Rs 5,000 fee. The Registrar publishes a notice in the Official Gazette and invites objections for one month. On completion, the company is dissolved and its name is struck off the register. Restoration is possible within 20 years through the NCLT.
