Revoking License of Non-Functional Companies now Possible

  2 min 25 sec to read

August 20: Amendment of the Company Act 2063 has paved way for the government to revoke the license of the companies that have stopped their operation. A notice issued by the Company Registrar’s Office on August 7 after adding section 136 (A) in the Company Act following the necessary amendment process has made it possible for the concerned government bodies to take such decision.

The notice includes a sample of the application required for revoking the license of the companies that have closed down. The companies will have to submit the application within two years since the amended act came into effect.

The president had already approved the amendment proposal on May 2 but the process was delayed as the Company Registrar’s Office was yet to prepare a sample of the application form.

Now, the Company Registrar’s Office has urged the closed factories to initiate the process to revoke their license. Until now, the non-functional companies were facing difficulties in cancelling their license due to unclear policies.

Registrar Geeta Kumari Humagain said that the process of revoking the license of any company was a complex issue but now the government has made it possible to do so after the amendment of the Company Act.

Altogether 160,000 companies have been registered with the Company Registrar’s Office. Humagain informed that around 100,000 companies among the total registered companies are currently non-functional.
