Clean & Legal Exit.
Zero Future Liabilities.
An inactive business isn't closed until the government says it is. Validraft's empanelled CAs and CSs execute official Company Strike-Off (STK-2) and LLP Closure (Form 24) to permanently protect directors from compliance defaults.

₹100/Day Penalty
The MCA charges ₹100 per day for unfiled AOC-4 and MGT-7 forms, even if the company has zero revenue.
Director Disqualification
Failing to file returns for 3 consecutive years leads to a 5-year ban on becoming a director in any other company.
DIN Deactivation
Missing DIR-3 KYC deadlines deactivates your DIN, freezing your ability to sign any legal corporate document.
Don't pay for "Ghost Compliance"
Many founders abandon their startups, thinking "zero revenue means zero compliance." In India, a registered company remains active until formally struck off.
No "Automatic" Closure
Even if you have no bank transactions, you are legally required to file NIL returns every year. The government does not automatically close your company.
Uncapped Fines
Unlike Income Tax, MCA penalties have no upper cap. A 2-year delay in filing 2 simple forms results in ₹1,46,000 in unavoidable late fees.
Impact on Future Ventures
A "Defaulter" tag on the MCA portal will trigger red flags during due diligence when you try to raise funds for your next startup.
The Legal Execution Models
Our platform assigns your case to specialized Company Secretaries who handle the exact legal framework required for your entity type.

LLP Closure (Form 24)
The formal procedure to strike off the name of a Limited Liability Partnership from the Register of LLPs using Form 24.
- Inoperative from the date of incorporation OR inactive for 1+ year.
- Consent of all designated partners.
- NIL assets and NIL liabilities.
- Filing of overdue Form 8 and Form 11 up to the date of closure.
