13 September 2013 The Company was incorporated on 15th Nov 2012 and now the Company wants to strick off its name under section 560.
The Company has not carried on any business since incorporation and is now desirous to fill an application in FORM 61.

Now my query is would it be compulsory for the Company to get its Accounts Audited ?

13 September 2013 Section 220 stipulates filing of copies of balance sheet, etc., with the concerned Registrar of Companies. Where it is established from the scrutiny of latest available balance sheet that the concerned company does not have adequate assets to meet the costs of liquidation, the course followed is to strike the name of the company off the Register of companies pursuant to section 560 of the Companies Act, 1956.


Yes, it is required to get audited.
