Until 31 August 2026, voluntary strike off through Form STK-2 is at 25 per cent of the normal fee, dormant status through MSC-1 at 50 per cent, and overdue AOC-4 and MGT-7A at 10 per cent of the accumulated additional fee with immunity from prosecution. If you have an OPC sitting idle, the decision costs materially less this month than next.

Government fee — paid by you at actuals
MCA fees are paid at actuals. Under CCFS-2026, introduced by General Circular No. 01/2026 dated 24 February 2026 and extended by General Circular No. 03/2026 dated 8 July 2026, STK-2 is payable at 25 per cent of the normal fee and MSC-1 at 50 per cent until 31 August 2026, and overdue AOC-4 and MGT-7A can be regularised at 10 per cent of the accumulated additional fee. We confirm the exact STK-2 fee slab applicable to your company against the Companies (Registration Offices and Fees) Rules, 2014 before anything is filed, and tell you the figure before you commit.
Every price above is a professional fee, excluding GST and government charges. 50% on delivery.
All fees and charges listed are indicative only and do not constitute a binding offer. Final amounts may vary depending on the volume of work and the complexity involved.
Board resolution and the special resolution or consent of the sole member. We also check whether strike off or dormancy is the right call before you pay for either.
The Registrar will not process STK-2 for a company with pending annual filings. Duration depends on the backlog — and until 31 August 2026 these clear at 10 per cent of the accumulated additional fee.
Filed with STK-3 indemnity bond, STK-4 affidavit and the CA-certified statement of accounts. To use the amnesty, the filing must happen by 31 August — the order comes later, and that is fine.
Notice issued in STK-5 and STK-6, with a thirty-day window for objections.
Dissolution notice issued in STK-7. The company is dissolved and the name is released.
Tell us your requirement, a CA will call you in 30 minutes.
Most people searching for how to close an OPC have not actually decided they want it gone — they want to stop paying for something they are not using. Strike off dissolves the company and releases the name; if you want the business back later you incorporate afresh with a new incorporation date. Dormant status under Section 455 keeps the company alive on sharply reduced compliance, filing Form MSC-3 annually. Or keep filing, which is only sensible if the company will trade again shortly. We will tell you which one fits before you pay for either.
If you want to keep the name, the incorporation date, or a registration attached to the entity, dormant status is the right answer — and at 50 per cent of fee this month it is cheap. Dormant status instead of closure starts at ₹9,999, including MSC-1 at the reduced fee.
Section 248(2) allows a company to apply in Form STK-2 for removal of its name, after extinguishing all liabilities, with the consent of the member. The company must either not have commenced business, or not have been carrying on business for the preceding two financial years.
The Registrar will not process STK-2 for a company with pending annual filings — which is exactly what the amnesty makes affordable. The sequence for a dormant OPC with a backlog is: clear the annual returns at 10 per cent of additional fee, then file STK-2 at 25 per cent of fee, both inside the same window. Run that arithmetic on a three-year backlog and the saving is usually the difference between closing it now and putting it off for another year.
The CA-certified statement of nil assets and nil liabilities must be made up to a date not more than 30 days before the application. If assembling the file takes six weeks, the statement gets redone. We front-load the paperwork so that does not happen.
The nominee named in the memorandum ceases to have any role on dissolution, and no separate filing is needed on strike off. But if your nominee died, emigrated or withdrew consent at some point and Form INC-4 was never filed, that inaccuracy is sitting in the company's records — better cleared before the application than raised as an objection during it.
