CLOSURE OF LLP COMPANY
CLOSURE OF LLP
A business may be required to be closed due to various reasons like losses, dispute between partners etc.
A Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) requires to file Annual Return (Form 11), Statement of Account & Solvency (Form 8) & Income Tax Return every year. Failing to maintain compliance for a LLP could result in fines and/or disqualification of the Partners from incorporating another Company/LLP. Therefore, if a LLP has become inactive and there are no transactions in the LLP, then it is best to close the LLP.
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs has recently introduced the Form 24 and it is now possible to easily close a LLP by making an application to the Registrar for striking off name of LLP.
The entire process of striking off a LLP can be completed within 3 to 6 months, subject to government processing times.
