Closing an OPC: Strike Off or Dormant Status

CCFS-2026, under which voluntary strike off through Form STK-2 was 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 protection from penalty proceedings under Sections 92 and 137, closed on 15 September 2026. Strike off and dormancy are now at the normal fee, and overdue filings carry the full additional fee, which keeps growing while they stay unfiled.

Government fee — paid by you at actuals

MCA fees are paid at actuals. 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 and General Circular No. 04/2026 dated 31 August 2026, allowed STK-2 at 25 per cent of the normal fee, MSC-1 at 50 per cent, and regularisation of overdue AOC-4 and MGT-7A at 10 per cent of the accumulated additional fee. The scheme closed on 15 September 2026, so the normal fee and additional fee now apply. The normal STK-2 fee is ₹10,000, and the application is processed by the Centre for Processing Accelerated Corporate Exit (C-PACE). We confirm the challan 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% upfront, 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.

Why CorporateWalla®?

Three options, not one

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.

Dormancy is the cheaper hedge

If you want to keep the name, the incorporation date, or a registration attached to the entity, dormant status is the right answer. Dormant status instead of closure starts at ₹9,999, plus the MSC-1 government fee at actuals.

When an OPC can be struck off

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.

Overdue filings have to go first

The Registrar will not process STK-2 for a company with pending annual filings. The sequence for a dormant OPC with a backlog is: clear the annual returns, then file STK-2. With CCFS-2026 closed since 15 September 2026, the additional fee on the backlog is payable in full and keeps growing while the returns stay unfiled, so putting it off makes closure dearer.

The thirty-day rule on the statement of accounts is strict

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.

What happens to your nominee

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.

Frequently asked questions

Government fee for STK-2 at the normal rate (the CCFS-2026 rate of 25 per cent ended on 15 September 2026), plus our fee from ₹3,599. Overdue annual filings, if any, are additional.
