The Form 24 filing fee and any pending Form 8 / Form 11 fees are charged over and above our professional fee. The total depends on how many annual filings are still pending — and for LLPs the late fee is ₹100 per day with no cap — billed at actuals per the official MCA schedule.

TERMS & CONDITIONS

By subscribing to the above plans, you agree to abide by our following additional terms and conditions

Professional Fee Only: All quoted prices cover professional services — eligibility assessment, drafting of the partners' consent, affidavit, indemnity, and Form 24 filing. They are exclusive of MCA government fees, stamp duty, and out-of-pocket costs.
Government Fees Payable Separately: The Form 24 filing fee, any pending Form 8 / Form 11 fees and late fees, and stamping/notarisation charges are payable to the authorities and reimbursed at actuals.
GST on Our Fee: All quoted prices are exclusive of GST @ 18%, charged at checkout.
Eligibility for Strike-Off: Under Rule 37 of the LLP Rules, 2009, Form 24 strike-off is available only if the LLP has either never commenced business or has ceased commercial activity for one year or more, with no pending liabilities. We confirm eligibility before filing.
Liabilities Must Be Extinguished: Before strike-off, the LLP must clear all liabilities and close its bank account. The designated partners give an affidavit and indemnity to this effect, and remain personally liable for any liability that subsists after strike-off. Accuracy of these declarations is the partners' responsibility.
Up-to-Date Filings Required: Overdue Form 8 and Form 11 generally need to be filed up to the end of the financial year in which the LLP ceased business before the strike-off application. Pending-filing fees and the uncapped ₹100/day late fee are additional and billed at actuals.
Consent of All Partners: Form 24 requires the consent of all partners of the LLP. The application also requires a statement of accounts disclosing nil assets and liabilities, certified by a Chartered Accountant and not older than 30 days from the date of application.
Outcome Subject to ROC: Strike-off is approved by the Registrar after a public notice and objection period. Legal Terminus prepares and files a complete application but cannot guarantee approval or a specific timeline, which is at the ROC's discretion.
Out-of-Scope Items: Voluntary winding-up under the LLP Act, NCLT proceedings, valuation, dispute or creditor settlement, tax assessments/litigation, asset disposal, and revival of a struck-off LLP are not included and quoted separately.

LLP Closure by Legal Terminus

Legal Terminus Priority ⚖

Closing an LLP looks like one form — but a Form 24 filed with pending Form 8/11, unextinguished liabilities, or an open bank account gets rejected, while the uncapped penalties keep climbing. Priority is what happens when a compliance expert owns the closure from eligibility check to the name being struck off.

What you get

⚡A clear eligibility check up front — strike-off vs voluntary winding-up — so you choose the right, lawful exit route before spending a rupee.
✅Pending Form 8 and Form 11 brought up to date, because the ROC will reject a Form 24 that leaves compliance gaps.
✅Properly drafted partners' consent, affidavit, indemnity, and a CA-certified nil statement of accounts — the documents that make or break the application.
🔄Bank-account closure and liability clean-up handled so the designated partners' indemnity is genuinely safe to sign.
📑Full ROC coordination — responding to queries and tracking the public notice — until the LLP is struck off the register.

Important Notes

Doing nothing is the costliest option. An inactive LLP that simply stops filing keeps accruing a ₹100-per-day late fee per form — and for LLPs this has no upper cap — so a dormant LLP can quietly run up huge liabilities. A clean strike-off stops it for good.
Liabilities must be truly extinguished. Designated partners sign an indemnity promising to settle any liability that surfaces after closure — and remain personally liable for it. We make sure the LLP's books, dues, and bank account are genuinely clean before you sign.
Eligibility is not automatic. The LLP must have either never commenced business or ceased operations for at least one year, with no pending liabilities. We confirm this and advise voluntary winding-up under the LLP Act where assets or disputes exist.
The ROC has the final say. After filing Form 24, the Registrar publishes a public notice inviting objections before striking the name off. A complete, accurate application is the single biggest factor in a smooth, objection-free closure.

Why Formally Close an Inactive LLP

When a Limited Liability Partnership stops doing business, its compliance obligations carry on. Under the LLP Act, 2008, every LLP must file its annual return (Form 11) by 30 May and its Statement of Account & Solvency (Form 8) by 30 October each year — and complete designated-partner KYC — whether or not it earns a rupee. The clean way out is a strike-off: the LLP files Form 24 under Rule 37 of the LLP Rules, 2009 to have its name removed from the Register, and once the ROC strikes it off, the LLP ceases to exist.

Simply abandoning an LLP is a uniquely expensive mistake. The late fee for Form 8 and Form 11 is ₹100 per day, per form — and for LLPs it has no upper cap — so a dormant LLP can silently pile up liabilities running into lakhs over a few years. Continuous default also exposes the designated partners to penalties and disqualification. A formal strike-off stops the penalties permanently, frees the partners, and gives you a clean compliance record for a fraction of what the defaults would cost.

Strike-Off vs Leaving It Inactive: The Honest Comparison

What happens when you formally close an unused LLP versus simply walking away:

Parameter	Formally Struck Off	Left Inactive / Abandoned
Annual Filing Duty	Ends permanently	Form 8 & Form 11 every year
Late Fee	Stopped for good	₹100/day per form, no cap
Designated Partner Status	Clean & free to act	Penalties & disqualification risk
LLP Existence	Legally dissolved	Exists with growing defaults
Limited Liability Shield	Closed cleanly on record	Eroded by ongoing default
Peace of Mind	Definitive closure	Open-ended liability
Cost	One-time fee & filing	Uncapped compounding penalties

Ways to Close an LLP

01

Strike-Off via Form 24

The simplest and most common route for an inactive LLP. The LLP applies in Form 24 under Rule 37 of the LLP Rules, 2009 to have its name struck off the register — available where it has either never commenced business or has ceased commercial activity for one year or more. It needs no court process, only ROC approval, making it the fastest and most cost-effective way to close a dormant LLP.

02

Voluntary Winding-Up

The route for an LLP that still has assets and liabilities to settle before closing. With the consent of partners and creditors, a liquidator is appointed to realise the assets, pay off the creditors, and distribute any surplus before the LLP is dissolved. It is more involved than a Form 24 strike-off but is the correct path when there is value to wind down properly.

03

Striking Off by the ROC (Suo Motu)

The Registrar can also strike off an LLP on its own motion where it has reason to believe the LLP is not carrying on business — typically after a long period of non-filing. While the end result is removal from the register, it is not a clean, controlled exit and usually comes with penalties and partner consequences, so a voluntary Form 24 strike-off is always preferable.

Benefits of Formally Dissolving Your LLP

Closing an unused LLP the right way is not just paperwork — it stops uncapped penalties, protects the designated partners, and draws a clean legal line under a venture that has run its course.

End the Annual Filing Burden

Once struck off, the LLP no longer has to file Form 8, Form 11, income tax returns, or complete partner KYC. You stop paying for filings and professional fees on an LLP that earns nothing.

Stop Uncapped Penalties

Pending Form 8 and Form 11 accrue ₹100 per day, per form — and for LLPs there is no upper cap. A formal closure halts these escalating penalties for good, instead of letting them silently compound into lakhs.

Protect the Designated Partners

Persistent non-filing can expose designated partners to penalties and disqualification, affecting their ability to run other LLPs or companies. A clean strike-off keeps the partners compliant and free to move on.

Low Cost vs Winding-Up

For a dormant LLP with no assets or liabilities, a Form 24 strike-off is dramatically cheaper and faster than a full voluntary winding-up — no liquidator, no court process, just a clean ROC filing.

A Clean Legal Closure

Strike-off gives you a definitive, on-record end to the LLP's existence — closing the chapter properly rather than leaving a defunct entity with open-ended liability hanging over the partners.

Free Up Time & Headspace

No more tracking due dates, chasing filings, or worrying about notices for an LLP you have moved on from. Closing it formally lets you focus entirely on what you are building next.

LLP Strike-Off Process — Step by Step

Six steps from eligibility check to dissolution. Liabilities cleared, documents drafted, and Form 24 filed with the ROC.

1

Eligibility Check & Cease OperationsStep 1

We confirm the LLP qualifies for Form 24 strike-off — never commenced business, or ceased commercial activity for one year or more, with no pending liabilities. The partners formally decide to close the LLP and cease any remaining operations.

2

Clear Liabilities & Close Bank AccountStep 2

All outstanding liabilities are settled and the LLP is brought to a nil-asset, nil-liability position. The LLP's bank account is closed and a closure certificate obtained — a prerequisite before the partners can sign the indemnity.

3

Bring Pending Filings Up to DateStep 3

Overdue Form 8 and Form 11 are filed up to the end of the financial year in which the LLP ceased business, along with the final income tax return (ITR-5). This clears the compliance record so the ROC will accept the strike-off.

4

Partners' Consent, Affidavit & IndemnityStep 4

We draft the consent of all partners to the strike-off, along with an affidavit and indemnity bond from each designated partner declaring that all liabilities are settled. These are executed on stamp paper and notarised.

5

Filing Form 24 with the ROCStep 5

Form 24 is filed with the Registrar along with the CA-certified statement of accounts (nil assets/liabilities, within 30 days), the LLP agreement, and all supporting documents. We track the application and respond to any ROC query.

6

Public Notice & Strike-OffStep 6

The ROC examines the application and publishes a public notice inviting objections. If none are sustained, the Registrar strikes the LLP's name off the register and notifies the dissolution — the LLP now legally ceases to exist.

Dissolve an LLP — FAQs

Got questions? We've got answers — straight, no-BS, legally accurate.

Dissolving an LLP means legally ending its existence so that it is removed from the Register maintained by the MCA. The most common route for an inactive LLP is a strike-off by filing Form 24 under Rule 37 of the LLP Rules, 2009, after which the ROC strikes the LLP's name off the register and it ceases to exist.

An LLP can apply for strike-off via Form 24 if it has either not commenced business since incorporation, or has ceased carrying on commercial operations for one year or more. It must have no pending liabilities, must have closed its bank account, and must have filed its overdue returns up to the cessation date.

Form 24 is filed with: the consent of all partners, an affidavit and indemnity bond from each designated partner, a statement of accounts (nil assets/liabilities) certified by a CA and not older than 30 days, the LLP agreement, a copy of the latest income tax return, and the bank account closure proof.

Yes. Overdue annual returns (Form 11) and Statements of Account & Solvency (Form 8) generally need to be filed up to the end of the financial year in which the LLP ceased business before Form 24 can be accepted. For LLPs the late fee is ₹100 per day, per form, with no upper cap — so clearing these early matters.

Form 24 itself carries only a nominal MCA fee. The bigger costs are usually the fees and uncapped late fees for any pending Form 8 / Form 11, plus stamping and notarisation for the affidavit and indemnity, and the CA's charge for certifying the statement of accounts. These are billed at actuals over and above our professional fee.

No. Form 24 strike-off is only for an LLP with nil assets and nil liabilities. If the LLP still has assets to distribute or creditors to pay, it must go through voluntary winding-up, where a liquidator realises the assets and settles dues before dissolution. We advise on which route applies to your situation.

After a clean strike-off, the partners are free of the LLP's ongoing compliance obligations. However, they remain personally liable, through the indemnity, for any liability of the LLP that subsists or surfaces after dissolution — which is why it is essential that all liabilities are genuinely extinguished before filing.

After Form 24 is filed, the ROC examines it and publishes a public notice inviting objections, typically for around a month. If there are no sustained objections, the LLP is struck off and the dissolution is notified. The overall timeline commonly runs a few months, depending on ROC processing and how clean the filings are.

We assess your eligibility, bring any pending Form 8/11 and ITR up to date, help clear liabilities and close the bank account, draft the partners' consent, affidavit, and indemnity, coordinate the CA-certified accounts, file Form 24 with the ROC, and handle queries through the public-notice stage until the LLP is struck off.
