23 May 2014 No. Limitation period is 20 years as per 1956 Act and the rules under 2013 Act.

24 May 2014 Thanks a lot Chackrapani Sir.. Yes as u said there is limitation period of 20 years in section 560(6) of The Companies Act 1956..

However here in this case the Directors (who are also the shareholders) of the Company which has been struck off now want to start a new company in the same name.. Will that be possible ?
