\n

On 10-5-2023, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs notified the Companies (Removal of Names of Companies from the Register of Companies) Second Amendment Rules, 2023 to amend the Companies (Removal of Names of Companies from the Register of Companies) Rules, 2016<\/a>. The provisions came into force on 10-5-2023.<\/p>\n

Key Points:<\/b><\/p>\n

1. Rule 4<\/b> relates to “Application for removal of name of company”<\/b> which says that an application for removal of name of a company under Section 248(2) will be made to the Registrar, Centre for Processing Accelerated Corporate Exit in Form No. STK-2 along with fee of Rs. 10000.<\/p>\n

2. New Provisions<\/b> have been inserted regarding the same:<\/p>\n

• The company cannot file an application unless it has filed overdue financial statements and overdue annual returns up to the end of the financial year in which the company ceased to carry out its business operations.<\/p>\n

• Where the Registrar’s action has already been initiated against the Company, it can only file the application for removal of names, after filing pending financial statements and annual returns.<\/p>\n

• A Company will not be allowed to file an application for removal of names, once the Registrar has issued notice for publication.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
