More than 36% of registered companies have 'closed' down in India
More than 36 per cent (680,000) of registered companies in India have “closed” down as per the latest numbers provided by the ministry of corporate affairs (MCA) in Parliament. There are around 1.9 million companies registered with the government, the data shows.

While the percentage has moved up only marginally since 2017-18, it is a big jump from the 20 per cent share that closed companies occupied in earlier periods.

The reason for the jump is the inclusion of companies not filing financial statements or annual returns for two years into the category of “closed” companies. The government identified such companies and declared them defunct under the Companies (Removal of Names of Companies from the Register of Companies) Rules (along with amended Rules 2019), coined under Section 248(1) of the Companies Act, 2013.

Maharashtra and Delhi lead the pack of states in terms of absolute number, with 142,425 and 125,937 closed companies, respectively. This data was presented by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman in a reply to a question in Parliament earlier this month.

Four states — Maharashtra, Delhi, Tamil Nadu, and West Bengal — constitute more than half the universe of registered companies. However, their shares of closed companies differ.

After the re-categorisation of non-compliant companies as “closed”, the share of closed companies in Maharashtra rose from nearly 15 per cent to 38 per cent. In Tamil Nadu, it rose from 24 per cent at the end of 2016-17 to 44 per cent in May 2019. The share of closed companies moved the slowest in West Bengal.

Apart from “closed” companies, the share of dormant companies, those under liquidation, and under the process of strike-off form less than 3 per cent of the universe.

Further, the MCA removed the names of nearly 220,000 and 110,000 companies from the list of registered companies in 2017-18 and 2018-19, respectively. These “shell” companies now cease to be part of the universe of registered corporates.

Taklu has an agenda but he also raises valid points. Auto industry is in the dumps, stock market is at a low, economic growth is negative, FII's fleeing India, budget was lacklustre . Is he being alarmist or are we on the cusp of a recession?

I actually like lot of Shekhar Gupta analysis (yes I take with cognisance of his bias/agenda as needed too).

We will have to let this year play out, he is being bit too alarmist. FPI/FII volatility is to be expected in current climate...I wouldn't say they are exactly fleeing...and likely will return in droves once this current cycle (of NPA recovery, lower rural demand, formalisation jitters etc..with a somewhat connected feedback loop) is over given overall world climate is definitely cooling down overall and stays that way for a while (India is simply at an inflection point like no other country that is highly attractive). The timidity of policy (esp after sustained MPC overprediction of inflation) in last year leading up to election has also combined on top of this somewhat.

Govt after all has seen no reason to tinker with the SEBI regulations in the FPI and bond market just yet....even after RBI swapped significant USD for INR from the banks. It means there is an underlying structural force waiting to spring...govt will likely take a decision on it (regarding best policy for it to materialise) after calibrating to overall monsoon results and any oil price+trade war movements.

FM has even said the 25% corporate tax rate could be extended to all companies soon (not just those below some revenue size)...that kind of thing simply is not done if govt is not confident of some upcoming numbers.

But let's see.

A recession is over due and it's required to clean up the rot. Stock market is still not low;it's still less than 10% down from the peak. In 2009, Sensex fell from 22000 to 8000. Auto market is certainly in pathetic condition. But IT industry is doing pretty good. So overall economic condition is complicated and will take a while to stabilize.

Only IT companies are good bhai Employees are not. Before 2014 below 10% hike was considered as under performing. Today even top performing guys are not getting 8%. Automation is taking place of a lot of employees and each year 1000s of experienced professional are losing their jobs.

Agreed. But that’s the ruthless world we live in. Unless we update our skill set regularly we will loose our jobs. Unfortunately most people became complacent after becoming managers and completely missed out the writing on the wall. Most of these people are going to loose their jobs over next few years unless they acquire new skill sets.
