Dormant Company Status Filing Services
📌 What is Dormant Company Status?
A Dormant Company is a company that is inactive for a certain period and does not carry out any significant accounting transactions or business operations. Filing for dormant status is governed under Section 455 of the Companies Act, 2013, along with the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014.
Dormant status allows companies to remain registered with the Registrar of Companies (ROC) without incurring the full burden of annual compliance requirements, until they are ready to resume business activities.
📌 Why Companies Opt for Dormant Status
- Temporary Business Suspension – For companies that have ceased operations temporarily.
- Capital Preservation – Maintain legal existence without regular operational expenses.
- Regulatory Compliance – Avoid penalties for non-filing of annual returns or financial statements.
- Investor Assurance – Retain the company name and corporate identity for future use.
- Strategic Planning – Suitable for startups planning to pause operations until funding or market conditions improve.
📌 Eligibility Criteria for Dormant Status
- The company should not have carried out significant business activities for a financial year.
- The company should not have any outstanding loans or financial obligations except for minimal compliance-related transactions.
- The company cannot be under active prosecution or involved in legal disputes affecting its status.
📌 Common Scenarios for Dormant Company Filing
