Closing of Private Limited Company

Winding up of a Private Company can be done in 3 ways. They are as following:

Selling company shares: By selling the prevalence company shares to another person or entity, the shareholders will avoid the responsibility of debts. Hence, voting powers, rights, and responsibilities will be laid on the acquired person or the entity.

Voluntary wind up: Voluntary wind up can be initiated either by way of one-of-a-kind resolution or a resolution taken during a general board meeting. By violating any of the t&c of the MOA, the winding up can be executed. At the same manner, due to inadequate funds or lack of capability to clear the outstanding debts, a company can be winded up on a voluntary basis.

Compulsory wind up: Any co. which is registered in India under the Companies Act 2013, which did an unlawful/Fraudulent act, or even if they backed any action in some falsified or illegal activities then such business would be wound up forcibly by the Tribunal of ROC.

Treatment For Voluntary Wind Up

• In a particular resolution, a majority of 3/4th of the company shareholders should register their vote on the side of winding up the company.
• Likewise, the business’s creditors should favor the resolution made for winding up, without problems.
