When things get
complicated
A notice from the ROC, years of missed filings, a company that’s been struck off, or a clean wind-down — every exit and rescue path, mapped to what actually has to happen.
In one answer
There is almost always a recovery path. Missed filings can be brought current — late fees accrue but the forms remain fileable; a struck-off company can be restored through the NCLT; and a company that should close cleanly can apply for strike-off in STK-2 once its liabilities are settled, or go dormant instead of dying. ROC notices carry response windows, so the first step is always the same: identify which notice you actually received. Pick your situation below.
Trouble
ROC notices, defaults, missed filings, officer-in-default — and how to recover.
Wind-down
Closing the company properly, going dormant, or shutting the LLP.
Special species
Nidhi companies and Section 8 (not-for-profit) — their specific compliance layers.
