The number of companies whose names have been struck-off from the register under Section 560 of the Companies Act, 1956, during each of the last three financial years and the current year (up to 08.03.2015), State/UT-wise, is given in Annex-1. The figures do not suggest an increasing trend in the number of defunct companies in the country.
The number of companies that availed the Fast Track Exit Mode for striking their names off the register during the said period, State/UT-wise, is given in Annex-2.
This was stated by Shri Arun Jaitley, Minister of Corporate Affairs in written reply to a question in the Lok Sabha today.
