Winding up of Company / LLP

An inactive or dormant company can be wound up to avoid annual compliance formalities and penalty for non-compliance.

Winding Up of a Company

A private limited company is an artificial judicial person and requires various compliances like appointment of Auditor, regular filing of income tax return, annual return filing and more. Failing to maintain compliance for a Company could result in fines and/or disqualification of the Directors from incorporating another Company. Therefore, if a private limited company has become inactive and there are no transactions in the company, then it is best to wind up the Company.

Voluntary winding up of a company can be initiated at anytime by the shareholders of the company. In case there are any secured or unsecured creditors or employees on-roll, the outstanding dues must be settled. Once all the dues are settled, the bank accounts of the company must be closed. Finally, the company must regularise any overdue compliance like income tax return or annual filing and surrender the GST registration. Once, all activities are stopped and the registrations are surrendered, the winding up application petition can be filed with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs.
