Private Limited Company Winding Up
Dormant companies bleed money in compliance costs and penalties. Voluntary liquidation under the IBC settles creditors, distributes what's left to shareholders, and dissolves the company. We manage the process from resolution to dissolution.

Overview
What winding up a private limited company involves
Private limited companies are wound up through voluntary liquidation under Section 59 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016.
Shareholders pass a special resolution; directors declare the company solvent.
A liquidator settles creditor claims, sells assets, and distributes the surplus.
It suits solvent companies whose shareholders want a definitive end.
Companies with no assets or liabilities may use the simpler strike-off route instead.

Winding up process — step by step
You’ll see each stage, what’s pending and what we need from you — so filings don’t bounce back.
Step 1 of 6
Choose the correct winding-up route
For a solvent company, voluntary winding up under the IBC framework applies; insolvent companies follow the CIRP route instead.
Declare solvency
The directors declare solvency — a false declaration carries personal liability, so the accounts must genuinely support it.
Resolve and appoint the liquidator
Shareholders pass a special resolution for voluntary liquidation and appoint a liquidator.
Liquidator settles claims
The liquidator takes custody of assets, settles creditor claims, and realises the estate.
Close all tax registrations
Tax registrations are surrendered and final returns filed — income tax, GST, and TDS closure.
Dissolution order
The liquidator's final report goes to the adjudicating authority, which orders dissolution — the company's legal existence ends.

Typically 9–18 months for a private limited company, depending on creditors and asset sales. Clean balance sheets move faster.
Strike-off suits companies with no assets or liabilities — simpler and cheaper. Liquidation suits companies with assets to distribute or creditors to settle formally.
The liquidator adjudicates claims under the IBBI regulations. Genuine disputes are resolved within the process.
In a solvent voluntary liquidation, generally no — that is the point of the limited liability structure. Fraud or wrongful trading is a different matter.
Only to complete the winding up — no new business. The liquidator controls the company's affairs.
Employee dues are settled as part of creditor claims, with priority as per the IBC waterfall. We include this in the plan from the start.
