Introduction of Closure of LLP

A Limited Liability Partnership shall mandatorily file certain returns irrespective of the fact of the business or not.

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.
