Important Note Before Closure of Section 8 Company
A Section 8 Company cannot generally be closed directly like a normal Private Limited Company.
Before applying for closure, the Section 8 Company may first need to be converted into a Private Limited Company after obtaining approval from the Regional Director (RD) and Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA).
After successful conversion into a Private Limited Company, the company can proceed with the normal company closure or strike-off process.
This is because Section 8 Companies are registered for non-profit objectives and are governed by special legal provisions under the Companies Act, 2013.
Process Involved
- Conversion of Section 8 Company into Private Limited Company
- Approval from Regional Director (RD)
- Amendment of MOA & AOA
- ROC Filing with MCA
- Closure / Strike-Off of Private Limited Company
Why Conversion is Required?
- Section 8 Companies operate under special non-profit regulations
- Direct strike-off is more complex and restricted
- Conversion simplifies the closure process
- Proper legal compliance helps avoid future legal issues and penalties
