How do I close an Indian company that never started or has stopped trading?

If it has no assets or liabilities, apply to have it struck off using form STK-2, which the MCA's Centre for Processing Accelerated Corporate Exit (C-PACE) processes. Overdue annual filings must be brought up to date first. A company with assets or creditors needs a formal winding-up instead (confirm the conditions with your specialist).
