Companies (Winding-up) Rules, 2020

The Companies (Winding-up) Rules, 2020 were published by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs in 2020. While the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 covers ‘voluntary winding up’ and ‘winding up on the grounds of inability to pay debts,’ the Winding Up Rules outline the procedure for winding up following Section 271 of the Companies Act, which specifies when the NCLT may wind up a company.

Rule 156 explains the application for leave to disclaim any party of a company’s property under subsection (1) of section 333 (Disclaimer of Onerous Property). The application must be accompanied by

an affidavit that sets forth all relevant facts about the property,
the parties involved, and the nature of their interests,
as well as whether the company is solvent and
whether any notice has been served on the liquidator by any person referred to in sub-section (4) of section 333 of the companies act 2013 requires him to elect whether or not he will disclaim.

The format of all the applications mentioned above and notices can be seen in the rules’ later part, namely FORM 76-82.

FORM WIN 76: Notice to Liquidator to elect whether he will disclaim
FORM WIN 77: Notice by Liquidator of intention to apply to Tribunal for leave to disclaim
