Indian Subsidiary Company Winding Up and Closure Services
Winding up of an Indian Subsidiary Company refers to the legal process of closing a Wholly Owned Subsidiary (WOS) or Foreign Subsidiary Company incorporated in India by settling all liabilities, disposing of assets, completing statutory compliance, and removing the company’s name from the records of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA). Once completed, the subsidiary company legally ceases to exist in India.
An Indian Subsidiary Company may be closed when business operations are discontinued, foreign parent company restructuring takes place, investment plans change, the subsidiary becomes inactive, compliance costs become unnecessary, or the parent company decides to exit the Indian market.
This applies to:
- Wholly Owned Subsidiary (WOS)
- Foreign Subsidiary Company in India
- Foreign Parent Controlled Private Limited Company
- Joint Venture Subsidiary Structures where closure is required
Closure is commonly done through:
- Voluntary Strike-Off under Section 248 of the Companies Act, 2013
- Formal Winding Up through NCLT where liabilities, disputes, or legal complications exist
For inactive subsidiaries with no major liabilities, voluntary strike-off through Form STK-2 is commonly used. Before filing, the company must generally clear all liabilities, close bank accounts, complete pending ROC filings, settle tax obligations, obtain board and shareholder approval (including foreign parent approvals where required), and prepare documents such as board resolution, indemnity bond (STK-3), affidavit (STK-4), CA-certified statement of accounts, and special resolution where applicable. MGT-14 may also apply before STK-2 filing. The strike-off process under Section 248 is commonly used for defunct companies and requires proper liability settlement before removal from MCA records.
Where the subsidiary has creditors, pending litigation, regulatory matters, FEMA-related issues, foreign investment compliance concerns, or major financial obligations, formal winding up through the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) may be necessary instead of simple strike-off.
