01 December 2009 Dear Sir,

Many thanks for ur reply.

The shares of the above company are not fully paid up. Should the shares be fully paid up before voluntarily applying for declaring as defunct co. to ROC or can the co. produce a disclaimer certificate for the unpaid share capital?

08 December 2009 To my understanding, disclaimer will not serve the purpose.

10 December 2009 Sir if the disclaimer is not the way, should the company make the remaining calls, and make the capital fully paid up before going into this process? Does Form 2 need to be filed for such allotment ?

plz do clarify

regards
