Striking Off · LLP · Form 24

Application for Striking Off LLP strike your inactive LLP off the register.

End-to-end LLP striking off services in Mumbai and across India — application for striking off the name of a Limited Liability Partnership through Form 24, clearance of pending Form 8 and Form 11 filings, affidavits, statement of accounts, and complete closure under the LLP Act 2008.

When a Limited Liability Partnership is no longer in operation, the most practical way to close it is to apply for striking off its name from the Register of LLPs. Striking off, done through Form 24, removes the LLP from the register and brings its existence to a formal end. It is the right route for an LLP that has either never commenced business or has ceased operations and has no assets or liabilities.

Leaving an inactive LLP undisclosed is a costly mistake. Every LLP, even a dormant one, must continue to file Form 8 and Form 11 each year, and the daily additional fees for non-filing accumulate relentlessly. Applying for striking off through Form 24 stops this cycle. The application requires the LLP to first clear its pending annual filings up to the relevant period, close its bank accounts, and confirm that it has no outstanding assets or liabilities.

Our LLP striking off practice manages the entire Form 24 process — confirming eligibility, filing all overdue Form 8, Form 11, and income tax returns, preparing the affidavits and indemnity bonds of the designated partners, drafting the statement of accounts certified by a Chartered Accountant, collecting partner consents, and filing Form 24 with the Registrar. We follow up until the LLP name is struck off, giving the partners a clean and final closure.

Striking off an LLP through Form 24 generally requires the consent of all partners, affidavits and an indemnity bond from the designated partners, a statement of accounts showing nil assets and liabilities certified by a Chartered Accountant, proof of bank account closure, and the LLP’s income tax return acknowledgement.
