Planning to ceased a Business

Yes, company can apply for voluntary strike-off even if business never started.

However:

• INC-20A non-filing penalty must be paid.

• Pending annual filings must be completed.

• There is no penalty-free route once default period has passed.

Dear Sir,

Company issued only Certification of Incorporaton and then not to do any thing even INC-20A i.e Commencement of Business so without INC-20 company not filed Annual Return and also not uploaded any form

So Company can apply strike off without Penalty now 

There are 2 possible situations:

1️. Within 180 days of incorporation
→ Company may file INC-20A first, then apply for strike off.

2️ . After 180 days (default already occurred)
→

       ·       File INC-20A with additional fees

·       Pay penalty (if adjudication initiated)

·       Then apply for strike off

A company that has not filed INC-20A cannot directly apply for strike off without consequences.
Non-filing attracts penalty under Section 10A, and compliance must be regularised before voluntary strike off under Section 248.
