If your company has no significant accounting transactions, apply for dormant status to reduce compliance burden while keeping the company legally alive.

Why this matters

Reduced compliance burden. Fewer ongoing filing requirements while the company stays dormant.

Keeps the company legally alive. A dormant company retains its name and registration, unlike a struck-off one.

Reactivate when ready. You can apply to become active again once the business resumes.

Who this applies to

  • Companies with no significant accounting transaction in the last 2 financial years
  • Not a company under investigation or with pending litigation

Common questions

What counts as a 'significant accounting transaction'?

Routine payments like filing fees, statutory dues, or maintaining the office are excluded; anything beyond that generally counts.

How long can a company stay dormant?

Dormant status can be maintained for up to 5 consecutive years, after which the ROC may initiate the strike-off process.

Can a dormant company still have a bank account?

Yes, but transactions through it should be minimal and limited to what's needed to maintain dormant status.
