Strike Off Section 8 Company

Close an inactive Section 8 Company through the proper strike off process with the MCA.

Overview

Close your Section 8 company the right way

A Section 8 Company is a non profit company. When it has stopped its activities, it can be closed by surrendering its licence and applying for strike off with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs.

The process involves clearing liabilities, filing any pending returns, passing the required resolutions, surrendering the Section 8 licence and filing Form STK-2 with affidavits and an indemnity bond.

Our experts guide you through the special requirements for non profit companies.
