DEFUNCT COMPANY

when a company becomes defunct & its name is striked off from the register of companies....what are the consequences thereof..?

do the creditors & shareholders continue to have their rights over the assets of the company??

 

and whether the assets will be sold off to repay the liabilities..??

As per sec 560, a company ceased to carry on business is eligible for being dissolved as defunct company. A registrar shall strike off the name of the company only of the company do not have adequate assets to even meet the cost of liquidation.

If the company has sufficient assets and liabilities, the registrar will not strike off the name. Instead he will file an petition for winding up of the company. If he strikes of the name of the company, any creditor or member aggrieved by it can file a petition with the court

but a company may b declared defunct also when the no. of members go below 7..!!

 

what will happen in that case..??...and whether the assets will be sold off to repay the liabilities in this case..??

In that case also, winding up petition can be made the ROC. Further, liability of all the members will become unlimited if the company continue for 6 months after such event. Company cannot be declared as defunct in such circumstances

thank u...!!

Can anybody let me know about the procedure for revival of striked off company?
