Closure of Company in India

 Closure of Company in India

In India, the closure of a company is a process of winding up or dissolving the business operations of a company. This can happen due to various reasons, including financial difficulties, lack of profitability, legal issues, retirement of the owners, etc. The process of closure of a company in India is governed by the Companies Act, 2013 and the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016.

A registered Company may face difficulties to carry out its business operation due to adverse business conditions or lack of finance. Due to such business conditions, the shareholders/directors may lose interest and intention to carry further business activities. The government has given an option for voluntary closure of Company, using which an company may apply to strike off or remove its name from the register, which is maintained by the ROC.

It's important to note that the process of closing a company in India can be complex and time-consuming. It's advisable to seek the assistance of a professional, such as a chartered accountant or a company secretary, to ensure that the process is completed correctly and in a timely manner.
