A small pvt. ltd. co. can apply to RoC for striking off its name from the Register of Companies kept with it u/s 560 of the Comapnies Act, 1956 as a defucant Co. by filling E-Form-61 with RoC on the grounds that the co. is not carrying on any activity either from the last 3 consequative years as on the date of filling application or from the date of incorporation and doesnot have any assets and liabilities as on the date of filling Form-61.
