Revival of a Struck-Off Company
An NCLT appeal to restore the name to the register.
A company struck off for non-filing ceases to exist, but its assets vest in the government and its bank accounts freeze. Where there are assets, an ongoing contract or live litigation, restoration is usually necessary rather than optional.
The route is an appeal to the National Company Law Tribunal under section 252, available within three years of the strike-off order. If restored, every overdue return must then be filed with its accumulated late fees.
What is included
- Appeal drafted and filed with the NCLT
- Representation at the hearing
- Order served on the Registrar
- All overdue annual filings completed
What we need from you
- The strike-off order and the public notice
- Financial statements for the struck-off years
- Evidence the company was carrying on business or holds assets
- Board resolution authorising the appeal
Questions
How long do I have to revive a struck-off company?
Three years from the date of the strike-off order, by appeal to the NCLT under section 252. Beyond that the company cannot be restored and the assets remain vested in the government.
