You can close the company as per the Fast Track Exit Scheme 2011. The main conditions are that the company should not be carrying on business for last one year, there should be no secured loans. You can repay the advance back to Japanese Company as per the FEMA procedures. It depends on the purpose for which the advance was taken and the conditions put by RBI if any.
