Where the Registrar has reasonable cause (like annual returns are not submitted for a long period etc.) to believe that a company is not carrying on business or in operation, sends to the company a notice (1^st notice) inquiring whether the company is carrying on business or in operation.

If the Registrar does not within thirty (30) days of sending the notice receive any answer thereto, shall within fourteen (14) days, after the expiration of the said thirty (30) days send to the company a 2^nd notice stating that if an answer is not received to the 2^nd notice within thirty (30) days from the date thereof, a notice will be published in the official Gazette with a view to striking the name of the company off the register.

If the Registrar either receives an answer from the company to the effect that it is not carrying on business or in operation, or does not within thirty (30) days after sending the 2^nd notice receive any answer, he may publish in the Official Gazette, and send to the company a notice that, at the expiration of ninety (90) days from the date of that notice, the name of the company mentioned therein will, unless cause is shown to the contrary, be struck off the register and the company will be dissolved, and

In such a case the Registrar may send a copy of the notice to the company while sending it to the concerned authority for its publication in official Gazette.
