A company can be wound up in two different ways-

  • Voluntary winding up of a Company
  • Compulsory winding up of a company

1. Voluntary Winding up of a Company

The Winding up of a Company can be done voluntarily by the members of the Company, if :

  • The company passes a special resolution for winding up the Company.
  • The Company in general meeting passes a resolution which requires a company to wind up voluntarily as a result of the expiry of the period of its duration, any as per the Articles of Association or on the occurrence of any event in respect of which the articles of association provide that the company should be dissolved.
