Revival of Suspended Companies

Revival of struck off companies

According to Section 248 of the 2013 Corporations Act, the Registrar of Companies (ROC) and NCLT are each given the authority to strike off dysfunctional companies. By virtue of its authority, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs wiped down over 2 lakh defaulting companies in late 2017 for failing to file their statutory documentation for the previous three years or more. A dissolved company may be reinstated in the Register of Companies (ROC) pursuant to Section 252 of the Companies Act of 2013 by an order of the National Company Law Tribunal in order to provide businesses with the option to resurrect their operations (NCLT).

Who has the power to remove a company's name from the Company’s register?

The Registrar of Companies has the authority to deregister inactive businesses or businesses that haven't filed their statutory documentation in the past three years or more. Before beginning the strike up operation, ROC is required by law to issue notice to the companies.

What companies can ROC banish?

  • Companies that failed to launch their operations within a year of incorporation;
  • Companies that have not operated for the two most recent fiscal years;
  • Company that has paid off all debts;

  • Such a request for a company revival must be made within 20 years of the date the notification of the striking-off was published in the official Gazette.

What time frame applies to the filing of a strike off appeal?

  • Any person who feels wronged by the Registrar's (ROC) decision to remove a company's name from the register may file an appeal with NCLT to have the company reinstated within three years of the ROC's publication date of the notice of strike-up.
  • If a firm, any member, employee, or creditor is unhappy with the strike off, they may appeal the decision before NCLT within 20 years of the date the striking off notice was published in the official Gazette by the ROC in order to have the company's name restored.
