Hello friends,
I am winding down my Private Limited company, and my CA is saying that Company Strike Offs - the MCA is giving random reasons to reject it and forcing them to pay Rs. 10,000 again for reapplication (for their other clients), and because of that to wait and then apply for strike off.
I want to get to know if this is happening everywhere and resolution, if any.
Thank you.
Hey Siddharth,
Yes, lately the MCA has been a bit strict with Company Strike Off applications and rejections have become more common. Some key points to know:
Reasons for rejection often include:
Pending statutory compliances (like filing of annual returns, financials)
Outstanding dues or penalties
Incomplete or incorrect documentation
Non-availability of certain required approvals
MCA expects companies to be fully compliant before strike off can be approved. If the application is rejected, the company usually has to reapply and pay the fees again.
This has been happening across many states and with several professionals reporting similar issues.
Ensure all pending compliances are filed (even if the company is dormant).
Clear any outstanding penalties or dues.
Double-check the application for completeness and accuracy before submission.
Sometimes, waiting for a quieter period or consulting with an experienced professional for pre-checks can reduce chances of rejection.
The MCA is tightening the process to prevent misuse of strike off, so it’s more critical than ever to have everything clean and compliant before applying.
If your CA is facing this for other clients, it’s a common experience nowadays.
