💤 Dormant Status Filing

⚖️ Keep Your Company Legally Registered Without Active Operations

If your company is not carrying out any business activity but you wish to retain its legal existence, applying for Dormant Status is the ideal option.
At KLS Advisors, we help businesses obtain Dormant Company Status under the Companies Act, 2013, ensuring compliance while minimizing annual filing and maintenance costs.

💡 What is a Dormant Company?

A Dormant Company is one that is temporarily inactive — it has no significant accounting transactions during a financial year and is formed for a future project or asset holding.
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) allows such companies to apply for Dormant Status to reduce compliance obligations while maintaining legal registration.

Governed under Section 455 of the Companies Act, 2013, this status helps avoid unnecessary penalties for non-compliance.

⚙️ When Should a Company Apply for Dormant Status?

A company may apply for Dormant Status when:

• It is not carrying out business operations or has become inactive.

• It is formed for a future business project or intellectual property ownership.

• The directors wish to temporarily pause operations without dissolving the company.

• The company wants to reduce compliance burden and cost.
