Dear Friend

Official Liquiator is stated under Govt bodies.

In Delhi its office at Old Barrack House, K.G. MArg, New Delhi.

and Winding up is safe way for dissolution in comp of Easy Exit Scheme

In this Scheme any int person can file an application for re opening the company for next 20 yrs means real dissolution only after 20 yrs.

Dear Surrender

As per easy Exit Scheme the company is non working from April 01, 2008 or before and Bona Fide company. then only it can take benefits.

Does it provide for re-activating later, after opting for Exit Scheme, now ?

Is it possible that the defunct Coy. with huge accumulated losses be useful for some

enterpreneur to avail offsetting future incomes ?

It could be suggested for tax-management !

Dear Friends,

Voluntary Liquidation is one of the area of my Practise. I am a Liquidator of a few Private limited Companies under Voluntary liquidation.

There has been some confusion in understanding the difference in provisions of Voluntary Winding Up ( section 484), Compulsory Winding Up( section 433) and Name strike off of defunct companies(section 560).

A Company having Assets and liabilities may go for voluntary winding up of the company. A running company having huge assets may decide to go for voluntary winding up. For Voluntary Liquidation, a Company is to pass a Special resolution and to appoint a Liquidator. A practicing professional or the Managing Director of the Company may be appointed as the Liquidator.

A Liquidator on completion of liquidation process is to file final report with the Official Liquidator. Official Liquidator after scrutiny of documents, submits his repot to the High Court. Based on the report of the official liquidator , the High Court passes an order for the dissolution of the Company.

So, we should understand the difference between a Liquidator (Voluntary) and the Official Liquidator.

I shall be pleased to reply to the queries of the members on this subject.

With Regards,

Sunil K. Jain, FCS,

Practising Company Secretary,

A pvt ltd company having assets, no creditors and no debtors needs to go in for voluntary winding up. The company owns an office premise . Does this need to be sold or can it be transferred to shareholders taking into account its market value.

Thankyou
