What is Company Revival?

A company can be struck off the Register of Companies (RoC) due to non-filing of returns, inactivity, or default in payment of statutory dues. Revival is a legal procedure whereby a company can be revived to its previous status to enable it to resume its business. If your company status is lost, revival is your way back to business.
Types of Revival
1. Voluntary Strike-Off Reversal
If the directors themselves had filed an application for voluntary closure (STK-2), but later want to revive the business, they can file a revival petition with reasons and intention to commence business.
2. RoC-Initiated Strike-Off Revival
If the RoC struck off your company suo-moto for default (failure to file Form AOC-4, MGT-7, etc.), it is possible to apply for revival on the grounds that the strike-off is wrongful or that the company will commence business.
Documents Required
To continue with the revival application, you will be requested to submit:
Board Resolution sanctioning filing of the revival petition
- Affidavit & Indemnity Bond by the director(s)
- Latest Available Financial Statements (audited where available)
- Last year’s Income Tax Returns (if filed)
- MCA Filing Receipts, as required
- Reason for Revival with supporting facts
- Evidence of Registered Office Address
- Identity & Address Proof of directors
(Note: Legal Dalal can assist in preparing all these documents if you have not done so.)
