Company file msc 1 for obtaining dormant status if company not carrying business or if not filing FS from. 2 consecutive years or if not made significant accounting transaction from 2 consecutive year . (if inc 20a not been file by company in that case ROC itself Strike off the name of company from register)

We need the dormant status of the company for the time being. We dont want the ROC to strike off the name.

My question is if the company has not filed 20 A, can it file MSC -2 ? or it is mandatory to file inc 20 A before filing msc 2?

  • A dormant company shall file a declaration annually in Form No. MSC-3 within thirty days from the end of each financial year.
Yes you can file MSC 2

You have to file inc 20A also.

to check:

Please try to fill the form and do pre-scrutiny, you will get pop - up. 

System will not accept any form unless form 20A is filed.
