Closure & Compliance.
This practice covers changes to a company's existence and form: closing an inactive company through strike-off, restoring a struck-off company through the NCLT, converting an LLP into a company or a private company into a public one, and merging companies through the NCLT or the fast-track route. These are multi-step processes involving regulators and public notice, so preparation and sequencing matter.

Closure & Compliance services.
Open any service to see exactly how it works: the steps, what we need from you, what you receive and how long it typically takes.
Company Strike-Off
If your company has stopped operating and has no liabilities, you can apply to have its name removed from the register under section 248(2) by filing Form STK-2.
Company Restoration
A company that has been struck off, whether by the ROC or on its own application, can be restored to the register only by an order of the National Company Law Tribunal under section 252.
Conversion - LLP to Pvt Ltd
An LLP can register as a private limited company under Part I of Chapter XXI of the Companies Act, usually to raise equity, issue ESOPs or meet investor expectations.
Conversion - Pvt to Public
A private company becomes a public company under section 14 by altering its articles to remove private-company restrictions, changing its name to drop 'Private', and filing with the ROC.
Amalgamation Support
Merging companies needs a scheme approved by shareholders and creditors and sanctioned either by the National Company Law Tribunal under sections 230 to 232, or by the Regional Director under the fast-track route in section 233.
