Revival Of Struck Off Company

A struck off company is one whose name has been removed by the Registrar of Companies (ROC) from the Register of Companies under Section 248 of the Companies Act, 2013. This usually happens when a company fails to file its annual returns or financial statements for two or more consecutive

years, or if it has stopped doing business altogether. Once a company is struck off, it ceases to exist as a legal entity and loses the right to operate, own property, or manage its bank accounts.

However, the law gives a second chance to genuine businesses that wish to continue operations. Under Section 252 of the Companies Act, 2013, the company or any interested party—such as its directors, shareholders, or creditors—may file an application before the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) to restore its name. This process is known as the revival or restoration of a struck off company.

Once approved, the NCLT directs the ROC to reinstate the company’s name in the register. After restoration, the company regains its legal status and must immediately complete all pending filings, such as AOC-4, MGT-7, and any other statutory forms. The company also becomes eligible again to open or operate its bank accounts, manage assets, and continue lawful business activities.

At Tax Intelligence, we help you throughout this process from assessing the reason for strike-off, drafting the NCLT petition, and arranging supporting documents, to ensuring final restoration and post-revival compliances. Our team ensures that your business is legally reinstated without delays or procedural errors.
