STK-2 is the prescribed form under Section 248 of the Companies Act, 2013 for voluntarily striking off a company’s name from the Register of Companies. It is filed with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) when a company has no liabilities and is no longer in operation.
To file STK-2, the company must first pass a board and shareholder resolution for closure. It must settle all liabilities and obtain a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from creditors, if any. Key documents required include an indemnity bond (Form STK-3), an affidavit from directors (Form STK-4), statement of accounts (certified by a CA), and relevant board/shareholder resolutions.
Once filed, MCA may issue a public notice, and if no objections arise, the company is struck off within a few months. Filing STK-2 is cost-effective and helps legally close a defunct company, avoiding future compliance issues.
