Winding up of Company, Corporate Laws / SEBI / LLP

[Murari Agrawal]

We have a Pvt Limited Company which is not doing any business since last ten years and has accumulated losses. There are no assets in the Company. There are confirmed dues of Sales tax and Central Excise pertaining to more than 10 years - there are no notices or recovery proceedings to our knowledge. The out standings are not due to any lapse or misconduct on the part of the directors.

We are complying with ROC and other formalities but continuing the same further and maintaining an office is becoming difficult.

Requesting the experts to suggest a way for winding up of the company.

Sir we can't submit Form STK-3 as there are confirmed dues of sales tax & central excise which the company can't pay. For last 10 years there is no known communication from departments in this respect. Is there any other way out. Thanks
