Winding down means paying people out correctly, and this is the guide that spells out the dual reconciliation founders get wrong: unpaid salary plus leave encashment plus gratuity plus bonus plus reimbursements, minus notice shortfall, loan recovery, TDS and asset deductions. It flags TDS as the single most-skipped step in small companies, runs the final tax projection before Form 16, and states the new Code on Wages 48-hour payout rule so you do not leave a departing employee with a labour-department complaint on your way out.

- Full-and-final is a two-way reconciliation: everything you owe the employee minus everything they owe you, computed on one net figure
- TDS on the FnF amount is the step small companies skip most, a final tax projection must run so annual earnings are taxed correctly before Form 16
- Under the Code on Wages, wage components of FnF are legally due within two working days of the last day, and withholding them is a punishable offence
