Procedure to Wind up Private Company

Winding up of a private limited company can be done in 2 different ways. They are:

  • Voluntary wind up:
    Voluntary wind up can be commenced either by special resolution or a resolution taken during a general body meeting. By violating any of the terms and conditions of the Memorandum of Association (MOA), the winding up can be executed. Similarly, due to insufficient financial funds or the inability to clear debts, a company can be wound up. The company requires a resolution from the directors to sell off all assets of the company or to transfer the stakes to another entity.
  • Compulsory wind up:
    The compulsory winding up of a company can be executed upon the order of a tribunal or a court by passing a special resolution proposing a court intervention made by the directors during the company's board meeting.
Identically, if any official of the company files a petition to a court or a tribunal, or if the company has indulged in any fraudulent/unlawful activities, it must be wound up compulsorily.

FAQs on Winding up of Pvt Ltd/OPC Company

The liquidation strategy refers to liquidating the assets of a company before winding up operations. By initiating the liquidation process, the company may sell its assets to meet obligations and repay liabilities.

The liquidation marks the end of business operations by a company and this may lead to the unavoidable loss of jobs for the employees. However, the company administration may look to restructure the organization and save some (or all) of the jobs in the process. However, the employees will have the right to claim dues owed to them by the company.

After a company is liquidated, the liquidator can sell its assets to repay all pending liabilities. The remaining balance, if any, after repayment to the creditors, gets distributed among the shareholders of the company.

No, you cannot liquidate your own company. Only the shareholders of a company can put it into voluntary liquidation. Then, a licensed insolvency practitioner will be appointed as a liquidator and only they can start the liquidation process.

Usually, directors are not personally liable for company debts. Therefore, if the company fails to pay off its debts and the creditors move court, only the company's assets are liquidated and not the personal assets of the directors.

When a company is dissolved and gets liquidated, the name is struck off from the company register. The name can be made available for other companies for future use.
