Review Process for Striking Off

(a) ACRA will process the application within 5 working days. Once the application is approved, ACRA will send a striking off notice to the company’s registered office address, its officers (directors and company secretary) at their residential address and to IRAS.

(b) After a 1 month period, if no objection is received, ACRA will publish the name of the company in the Government Gazette. This is known as the First Gazette Notification.

(c) After a 3-month period from the First Gazette Notification, if there is no objection, ACRA will publish the name of the company in the Government Gazette and the name of the company will be struck off the register. The date that the company is struck off will be stated. This is known as the Final Gazette Notification.

(d) The entire process will take at least 5 months.

If ACRA receives any objection, after approval of the application has been granted but before the company has been struck off the Register, it will inform the company of the objection. The company is given 2 months to resolve the matter. If the company is unable to resolve the matter after two 2 months, the striking off process will be terminated. The company will have to submit a new application again if it still wishes to be struck off.
