Overview of Closing a Limited Liability Partnership

The penalty for failing to file any statutory return for LLPs is Rs.100 per day, without any overall cap. Therefore, it is also best to windup dormant LLPs so that each financial year there is no need to file LLP Form 11, LLP Form 8 and Income Tax Return for the LLP to maintain compliance and escape punishment.

With an amendment to the Limited Liability Partnership Law, 2009, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs introduced LLP Form 24. The appeal for the closure of the LLP, however, is geared against particular requirements. Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) is a general business form in which there are limited duties per co-worker. An LLP is a company that supports unique legal sessions and papers. There is a pre-defined form in which your LLP can be designated or closed. There are some advantages to being in an LLP, but there are still some demerits at the same time.

The process for winding up an LLP used to be lengthy and tedious until the adoption of the Limited Liability Partnership (Amendment) Regulations (2017). However, the process has been made simple and clear with the implementation of LLP Form 24.

Documentations to Close an LLP

  • The LLP may not have been engaged in its occupation or commercial services for a period of one year or more.
  • A record of the account issuing zero assets and liabilities shall be given for a period not exceeding thirty days from the date of filing accepted by the Chartered Accountant.
  • There is no need for the LLP to own any commitments and properties.
  • An current bank account does not need to be kept by the LLP. In the event that the bank account has been released, the document must be closed and the bank's comment or certificate must announce the closing of the bank account to be carried out.
  • For implementation, all partners should have permission.
  • All appointed partners shall be required to make a declaration of fact, and the Indemnity Bond shall be entitled to reimburse any liability that may arise after the Registrar has signed the name.
  • Evidence of the last return on income tax recorded by the LLP if the LLP manages any corporation and has issued those returns
  • The acceptance letter notes that owing to all the lenders, the LLP has no responsibility or charge.
  • Any pending IT returns for the current financial year are filed externally.
