Closing a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) in India is a legal process that removes the LLP from the records maintained by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA). Governed by the Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008 and LLP Rules, 2009, the closure process involves filing Form 24 with the Registrar of Companies to strike off the LLP's name from the register.
LLPs, like companies, are required to maintain annual compliance including filing Form 8 (Statement of Accounts and Solvency) and Form 11 (Annual Return). Failing to file these returns leads to penalty accumulation and can affect the Designated Partners' ability to become partners in other LLPs or directors in companies.
The LLP winding up process can be either Voluntary (initiated by partners when the LLP has no debts or when creditors agree) or Compulsory (through NCLT when the LLP is unable to pay its debts). For most inactive LLPs with no pending liabilities, voluntary closure through Form 24 is the preferred and most cost-effective route.
At IncorpX, we specialize in LLP closure services and handle the entire process - from clearing pending compliances to obtaining the final strike-off confirmation. Our team of expert CAs and CSs ensures that your LLP is closed legally, protecting your DPIN and future business interests.
What is LLP Strike-Off / Winding Up?
LLP Strike-Off is the process of voluntary dissolution of a Limited Liability Partnership under the provisions of the LLP Act, 2008. When an LLP is no longer carrying on business or is not in operation, partners can apply to the Registrar of Companies to strike off its name from the register by filing Form 24.
The strike-off application can be made under two circumstances: when the LLP has not commenced business within one year of incorporation, or when the LLP has not carried on any business for the preceding two years. The Registrar, upon receiving the application and after necessary verification, strikes off the LLP's name.
Key Characteristics of LLP Strike-Off:
Voluntary Dissolution:
Initiated by designated partners with consent of all partners, not forced by external authorities.
No Outstanding Liabilities:
The LLP must have no pending debts or liabilities, or consent from all creditors must be obtained.
Compliance Status:
All annual returns (Form 8 and Form 11) must be filed up to date before applying for strike-off.
Form 24 Filing:
The prescribed form for LLP strike-off application with all supporting documents.
Did You Know?
Unlike Private Limited Companies, LLPs have relatively lower compliance requirements. However, non-filing of Form 8 and Form 11 attracts a penalty of ₹100 per day which can accumulate to significant amounts over time.
Reasons to Close an LLP
Partners decide to close their Limited Liability Partnership for various legitimate reasons. Understanding your situation helps in planning the closure properly:
Project Completion
The LLP was formed for a specific project or venture that has been completed, and there's no intention to continue further operations.
Business Not Viable
The business model is not generating sufficient returns, or market conditions have changed making continued operations uneconomical.
Dormant LLP
The LLP has been inactive for an extended period with no business transactions, and maintaining compliance is becoming a burden.
Partner Disputes
Disagreements among partners have made it impossible to continue business operations or take collective decisions.
Business Restructuring
The business is being converted to a Private Limited Company for better funding opportunities or being merged with another entity.
Focus on New Ventures
Partners want to devote their time and resources to new business opportunities and wish to exit from non-operational LLPs.

Step-by-Step LLP Closure Process
Here's how IncorpX helps you close your LLP through the voluntary strike-off route:
Step 1: Initial Assessment
Our experts review your LLP's status, compliance history, pending liabilities, and determine eligibility for strike-off. We identify any prerequisites that need to be addressed.
Step 2: Clear Pending Compliances
We file all pending Form 8 (Statement of Accounts), Form 11 (Annual Return), income tax returns, and GST returns to bring the LLP to a compliant status.
Step 3: Settle Liabilities & Close Accounts
All outstanding debts are settled, LLP assets are disposed of or distributed to partners, and bank accounts are closed. Creditor NOCs are obtained if necessary.
Step 4: Obtain Partner Consent
Written consent is obtained from all partners agreeing to the voluntary closure of the LLP. This is a mandatory requirement for Form 24 filing.
Step 5: Prepare Closure Documents
We prepare indemnity bond, affidavit, statement of assets and liabilities, statement of accounts, and compile all supporting documents.
Step 6: File Form 24 with RoC
Form 24 (Application for Striking Off LLP) is filed electronically with the Registrar of Companies along with all attachments and prescribed fees.
Step 7: RoC Verification & Strike-Off
The Registrar verifies the application and, if satisfied, strikes off the LLP's name from the register. A notice of dissolution is published in the Official Gazette.

FAQs on LLP Closure in India
Closing a Limited Liability Partnership involves specific legal requirements. Here are answers to common questions about LLP closure:
You can close your LLP by filing Form 24 with the Registrar of Companies. This requires clearing all pending compliances, settling liabilities, obtaining partner consent, and submitting prescribed documents including indemnity bond and affidavit.
The LLP closure process through Form 24 typically takes 3-6 months. This includes time for clearing pending compliances, preparing documents, filing Form 24, and RoC processing.
Form 24 is the application form for striking off the name of an LLP from the register maintained by the Registrar of Companies. It must be filed with supporting documents as per Rule 37 of LLP Rules, 2009.
The LLP must have not commenced business within 1 year of incorporation OR not carried on business for 2 years. All annual returns must be filed, and there should be no pending liabilities.
Yes, all pending Form 8 (Statement of Accounts) and Form 11 (Annual Return) must be filed up to the date of strike-off application. Income tax and GST returns should also be filed.
For Form 24 strike-off, all liabilities must be settled or NOC obtained from creditors. If there are significant debts, you may need to go through voluntary winding up with a liquidator or NCLT proceedings.
At IncorpX, LLP closure starts from ₹4,999 plus government fees. Additional costs may include pending compliance filing fees, late fees, and stamp duty for indemnity bond.
The penalty for late filing of Form 8 and Form 11 is ₹100 per day for each form. This can accumulate to ₹36,500 per year per form, totaling ₹73,000 annually for both returns.
Yes, a struck-off LLP can be restored by filing an application with NCLT within a reasonable time. Valid grounds must be demonstrated, and all pending dues must be paid.
If the LLP is closed properly through Form 24, partners' DPINs remain active, and they can continue to participate in other LLPs or companies. However, they remain liable for any undisclosed obligations.
Yes, written consent from all partners is mandatory for filing Form 24. If any partner refuses consent, closure may need to be pursued through other routes like NCLT.
LLP closure uses Form 24 under LLP Act, while company closure uses Form STK-2 under Companies Act. The fundamental process is similar, but compliance requirements and forms differ based on the governing legislation.
