12 December 2021 Sir,
I would like to clarify the following doubt
1.Whether is it necessary to file the annual return upto the date of closure of financial year in which the company wants to strike off U/s 248(2)?

or Just it is enough to file the annual return till the end date of the financial year in which it is ceased to carry its business operations

For Ex. M/s ABC Pvt Ltd ceased its business in Mar.2015 and filed the annual return upto 31.3.2015 but therafter it has nor filed any annual returns neither close the company and Now whether it can file strike off forms under section 248(2) without filing the Annual return for F Y 16-17 to F Y 20-21?
2. In case a company did not start even not open the bank account from the date of incorporation in Dec.2018 is required to file the annual return before the closure i.e. Filing the necessary forms U/s 248 (2) if the strike off forms to be filed in Dec.2021?
