Understanding the Closure of a Limited Liability Partnership

A Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) is a widely adopted business structure in India, offering numerous advantages such as flexibility, tax exemptions, legal entity status, and more. However, there are situations where business owners may decide to close their LLP. This could be due to reasons like bankruptcy, prolonged business inactivity, or non-compliance with annual requirements.

Ways to Close LLP Online

1. Declaring an LLP as Defunct:

  • An LLP can apply to the Registrar to declare itself as defunct and have its name removed if it has not conducted any commercial operations for one year or more.
  • This process involves submitting eForm 24, as per Rule 37 of the LLP Rules 2009.

2. Winding up LLP:

  • The LLP Act 2008 outlines specific circumstances under which an LLP can be closed, either through voluntary winding up or compulsory winding up.
  • Voluntary Winding Up: LLP partners can decide to wind up the company’s operations.
  • Compulsory Winding Up: This can occur under various circumstances, such as when the number of LLP partners falls below two, inability to repay debts, violations of India’s integrity or public order, or upon a tribunal’s determination.

Process of Limited Liability Partnership Closure

Closing an LLP involves several steps:

Step 1: Getting the Consent of Partners

  • Obtain consent from LLP partners before proceeding with closure.

Step 2: Ceasing all Business Operations

  • Stop commercial operations and ensure at least two financial years have passed since the cessation of activities before filing the closure application.

Step 3: Closing Bank Account

  • Close the business bank account by submitting a written application to the bank manager.

Step 4: Affidavits and Declaration

Step 5: Preparing Documents

Step 6: Filing Form 24

  • File a resolution with the Registrar of Companies and submit e-Form 24, declaring no outstanding debts. An affidavit may also be required.

Step 7: Striking off the LLP

  • If the ROC verifies the accuracy of submitted records, the LLP can be struck off.
