How to wind up a company?

How to wind up a company? It is a very important question which a professional must know the answer of.

I am sharing here some useful guide for the procedure and legal requirements to wind up a company. I hope that it will be equally useful for the professionals and students of Chartered Accountancy.

The term ‘winding up’ of a company may be defined as the proceedings by which a company is dissolved (i.e. the life of a company is put to an end). Thus, the winding up is the process of putting an end to the life of the company. And during this process, the assets of the company are disposed of, the debts of the company are paid off out of the realized assets or from the contributories and if any surplus is left, it is distributed among the members in proportion to their shareholding in the company. The winding up of the company is also called the ‘liquidation’ of the company. The process of winding up begins after the Court passes the order for winding up or a resolution is passed for voluntary winding up. The company is dissolved after completion of the winding up proceedings. On the dissolution, the company ceases to exist. So, the legal procedure by which the existence of an incorporated company is brought to an end is known as winding up.

Modes of winding up

The winding up of a company may be either-
(i) by the Court; or
(ii) voluntary; or
(iii) subject to the supervision of the Court

PROCEDURE FOR WINDING UP OF COMPANY AND FILING OF PETITION BEFORE RESPECTIVE HIGH COURT:

1. To pass Special Resolution by 3/4th majority of the members of the company
  that the company be wound up by the Court in case if the company itself intend
  to file a petition and to file the Special Resolution on Form 26 with the
  registrar.
2. To prepare a list of the assets to ascertain that the company is unable to pay its
  debts.
3. To prepare a list of the creditors
4. In case of defaults in payments the creditor or creditors to make a decision for
  the filing of the winding up petition.
5. In case if the Commission or Registrar or a person authorised by the
  Commission intend to file a petition, they should not file a petition, for winding
  up of the company, unless an investigation into the affairs of the company has
  revealed that it was formed for any fraudulent or unlawful purpose or that it is
  carrying on a business not authorised by its memorandum or that its business is
  being conducted in a manner oppressive to any of its management has been
  guilty of fraud, misfeasance or other misconduct towards the company or
  towards any of its members.
6. To engage advocates for the preparation and filing of the petition.

PROCEDURE FOR VOLUNTARY WINDING UP

The following steps are to be taken for Member’s voluntary winding up under the Provisions of the Ordinance, and the Companies Rules.

Step 1. Where it is proposed to wind up a company voluntarily, its directors make a declaration of solvency on Form 107 prescribed under Rule 269 of the Rules duly supported by an auditors report and make a decision in their meeting that the proposal to this effect may be submitted to the shareholders. They, then, call a general meeting (Annual or Extra Ordinary) of the members (Section 362 of the Ordinance)

Step 2. The company, on the recommendations of directors, decides that the company be wound up voluntarily and passes a Special Resolution, in general meeting (Annual or Extra Ordinary) appoints a liquidator and fixes his remuneration. On the appointment of liquidator, the Board of directors ceases to exist. (Sections 358 and 364 of the Ordinance)

Step 3. Notice of resolution shall be notified in official Gazette within 10 days and also published in the newspapers simultaneously. A copy of it is to be filed with registrar also. (Section 361 of the Ordinance)

Step 6. If liquidator feels that full claims of the creditors cannot be met, he must call a meeting of creditors and place before them a statement of assets and liabilities. (Section 368 of the Ordinance)

Step 7. A return of convening the creditors meeting together with the notice of meeting etc. shall be filed by the liquidator with the registrar, within 10 days of the date of meeting. (Section 368 of the Ordinance)

Step 8. If the winding up continues beyond one year, the liquidator should summon a general meeting at the end of each year and make an application to the Court seeking extension of time. (Section 387(5) of the Ordinance)

Step 9. A return of convening of each general meeting together with a copy of the notice, accounts statement and minutes of meeting should be filed with the registrar within 10 days of the date of meeting. (Section 369 of the Ordinance)

Step 10. As soon as affairs of the company are fully wound up, the liquidator shall make a report and account of winding up, call a final meeting of members, notice of convening of final meeting on Form 111 prescribed under Rule 279 of the Rules before which the report / accounts shall be placed. (Section 370 of the Ordinance)

Step 12. Within a week after the meeting, the liquidator shall send to the registrar a copy of the report and accounts on Form 112 prescribed under Rule 279 of the Rules. (Section 370 of the Ordinance)

PROCEDURE FOR CREDITOR’S VOLUNTARY WINDING UP

The creditors also appoint liquidator in that meeting. If the creditors and the company nomina te different persons, than person nominated by the creditors shall be liquidator.
Step 3. Notice of the resolution passed at the creditor’s meeting shall be
