LLP Closure / Strike Off

How It Works

1. 1

   Compliance Audit and Regularisation of Pending Filings

   Conduct a full MCA compliance audit to identify all pending Form 11 (annual return) and Form 8 (statement of accounts) filings. File all outstanding returns and pay applicable late fees to bring the LLP to a fully compliant state before the closure application.

2. 2

   Close Bank Accounts and Settle All Liabilities

   Close all bank accounts held in the name of the LLP and obtain closure certificates from each bank. Settle all outstanding liabilities including vendor dues, tax arrears, and any pending creditor claims. Ensure nil balance position is achieved.

3. 3

   Cancel GST Registration

   If the LLP holds a GST registration, file a cancellation application on the GST portal under the CGST Act, 2017, and obtain the cancellation order before or alongside the MCA closure application.

4. 4

   Prepare Closure Documents

   Prepare the statement of accounts (not older than 30 days), affidavit and indemnity bond from all Designated Partners, partner consent declaration, and any other supporting documents required for Form 24.

5. 5

   File Form 24 on MCA21

   Submit Form 24 (application for striking off the name of LLP) on the MCA21 portal with all required attachments and digital signatures of all Designated Partners. Pay the prescribed government filing fee.

6. 6

   Registrar Review and Official Gazette Publication

   The Registrar reviews the application, publishes a notice in the Official Gazette, and upon expiry of the objection period without valid objections, issues the strike-off notice and updates MCA21 records to reflect the LLP as dissolved.
