Dear Mr. Anil,

Voluntary Winding up of companies is one of the specialised area of our practice.

1. Majority of directors are required to sign Declaration of Solvency.

2. Shareholders are to pass a Special Resolution for voluntary winding up of a company.

3.When a Liquidator is appointed all powers of the board are vested in the liquidator.He is responsible for sale of assets, deposit of tax, obtaining of tax refund & distribution of surplus among the shareholders.

Thank you for your reply.  I understand my questions are a bit specific and migght be difficult to answer in a forum like this, however I do feel clarity should be there for all Directors on winding up processes, which unfortunately is not available publicly.
