Running a business comes with its highs and lows, and at times, winding up a private limited company becomes a practical or necessary decision. Whether it’s due to financial difficulties, strategic pivots, or the fulfillment of business goals, Rebizco is here to help you close your Private Limited Company with a seamless, compliant, and efficient process.
What Is Closing a Private Limited Company?
A Private Limited Company in India is a registered corporate entity governed by the Companies Act, 2013. With shares privately held and regulatory responsibilities in place, winding up such an entity requires following prescribed legal procedures.
You can close a Private Limited Company in one of three ways:
• Strike-Off under Section 248 of the Companies Act—used when the company is inactive.
• Voluntary Winding-Up through the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) with shareholder consent.
• Winding-Up by Order of the Tribunal or through court procedures in special cases.
Whether your company has ceased operations or you’re ready to move on to new ventures, Rebizco provides structured, legally compliant services to support your exit.
Our Step-by-Step Closure Process
• Application Filing with ROC: File the closure application via the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) portal, along with a declaration of no pending liabilities.
• Publishing the Closure Intent: The ROC issues a public notice in the Official Gazette, starting a 60-day objection window.
• Objection Review Period: During this time, any objections from creditors or stakeholders are reviewed. If none arise, the process continues.
• Final Closure Approval: Post objection period, ROC grants permission to strike off the company.
• Asset Liquidation & Distribution: Company assets are liquidated, and proceeds are distributed among shareholders according to their shareholding.
• Shareholder Resolution & High Court Application: A final shareholders’ meeting is conducted, and a formal application is filed with the High Court (if required under voluntary winding-up).
• Dissolution Notice & Completion: Once approved, the final dissolution notice is published in the Gazette. The company is officially closed.
