Winding up of a company is a pursuit which involves bargaining all the assets, paying off the bankers and administering the remaining assets to the shareholders of the company. It is always challenging to start a business/ company.
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs has notified rules 2020, for winding up small businesses without having to go to a tribunal, under a provision in the Companies Act that offers an alternative to the commonly used pquidation procedure under India’s bankruptcy code. The scope of Company Law in India is unrestricted and extensive; it carries into account the depth of winding up of a business and pquidation of its assets.

If any company or entity has entered into a lease for a prescribed time, during the pquidation process, it will epminate all the terms and conditions of the contract.

The Companies (Winding-Up) Rules 2020 shall come into effect from the 1st April 2020. The new rules will reduce the burden of the National Company Law Tribunals (NCLTs) by enabling summary procedures for liquidation. Petitions for winding up of companies are subject to various conditions, including thresholds on turnover and paid-up capital.
Thorough Procedure: Cutting-Edge By The Companies (Winding Up) Rules, 2020
A Company Attempting To Wind Up Section 361 Should Adhere To The Below-Mentioned Requirements:
1. The book worth of assets of the company does not exceed Rs 1 crore; and
2. Any one of the below conditions based on the latest audited balance sheet:
1. A firm which has taken deposits, the entire outstanding deposits do not exceed Rs 25 lakh or
2. Company has outstanding loans, the undivided outstanding loan including secured loan does not exceed Rs 50 lakh; or
3. Turnover of the company is up to Rs 50 crore; or
4. Paid-up share capital of the company does not exceed Rs 1 crore.
The central government delegates the Official Liquidator of the company attempting winding up under the review procedure for liquidation.
The Official Liquidator shall dispose of all the assets or property belonging to the company after obtaining the previous approval of the central government. The funds collected by the Official Liquidator shall be discharged into the public account of India in the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) as specified in section 349.
The Official Liquidator has to in thirty days of his nomination call upon the creditors of a company to determine their claims from the company. Within 30 days from the expiry of the time allotted for making claims, the liquidator shall arrange a list of creditors with the Central Government.
1. The Official Liquidator appointed shall take administration or control of all the assets, results and actionable requirements to which the company is entitled or appears to be qualified.
2. The Official Liquidator shall examine into the affairs of the company and tender a report to the Central Government in the designated manner. The report shall consider whether any fraud has been committed in elevation, formation or supervision of the affairs. The announcement should also be made in case the liquidator finds there is no fraud perpetrated.
After examining the investigation report submitted by the Official Liquidator, the Central Government may direct that winding up may be initiated in the same manner in which a company is folded up by the Tribunal.
Note: The prominent feature of this notification is the summary procedure for liquidation proposed through Part V of the Companies (Winding-up) Rules, 2020. An indispensable factor for such summary winding up is that the Central Government will implement required permissions to such companies for the standard winding-up process which is otherwise undertaken through the Tribunal, thereby decreasing the burden on Tribunal and significantly curtailing the overall winding up timelines.
