Overview

Introduction of Closure of LLP

A Limited Liability Partnership shall mandatorily file certain returns irrespective of the fact of the business or not. As per the Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008 there are certain penalties and prosecution to be faced by the Designated Partner for non-filing of due returns. A Limited Liability Partnership continues to exist until its formal closure and the Cessation of its operation cannot be considered as a reason for non-filing of returns. As the Limited Liability Partnership is a separate legal entity registered under law it is to be mandatorily closed in accordance with the LLP Act.

A Limited Liability Partnership which has never started its business or is also not carrying any business for the immediate past one year and pursues no assets and liabilities shall be considered as Defunct Limited Liability Partnership. This type of company can make an application for striking the name of the Company.
