The majority of directors (or both, in case there are two directors) should convene a board meeting at which the directors should declare that the company has no debts or that its debts can be repaid from the proceeds of the winding up of the company. Finally, a date, time and agenda should be fixed for a general board meeting five weeks from the board meeting and issue notices for this meeting, giving suitable explanation.

2. On the day of the general board meeting, pass an ordinary resolution with ordinary majority or special resolution with 3/4th majority. Immediately, the directors must meeting with the creditors of the company. If 2/3rds, in value terms, of creditors agree to the winding up of the firm, it may be wound up voluntarily. If not, a Tribunal will have to wind up the company.

3. Within 10 days of passing the resolution, the Registrar of Companies will need to be informed, to appoint a liquidator.
