Striking off an LLP is the simplest way to legally close a defunct or inactive Limited Liability Partnership — an alternative to full winding up. Under Rule 37 of the LLP Rules, an LLP that has ceased business (or never commenced it) can apply in Form 24 to the Registrar to strike its name off the register. Before filing you must close the LLP bank account, clear all liabilities, and file any pending Form 8 and Form 11. The application needs a statement of accounts (not older than 30 days from the filing date), plus affidavits and consent of all partners.

Form 24

Closure applicationA defunct LLP is struck off by filing Form 24 with the ROC — a lighter alternative to formal winding up under the LLP Act.

Understand It

What Is Striking Off of LLP?

A quick, plain-language explanation before the details.

In simple terms

Striking off an LLP means applying to the Registrar to remove your defunct or inactive LLP’s name from the register — so it ceases to exist and you stop having to file annual returns.

Legally

Under Rule 37 of the LLP Rules read with the LLP Act, 2008, an LLP that has ceased to carry on business — or has not commenced business — may apply in Form 24 for its name to be struck off the register, with the consent of all partners and the required affidavits and statement of accounts.

Governing authority

Administered by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) through the Registrar of Companies (ROC) via the MCA21 portal, where Form 24 is filed.

Validity

Once the ROC is satisfied, it publishes a notice and, unless cause is shown otherwise, strikes the LLP off the register — dissolving it permanently.

Why It Matters

Why Strike Off a Defunct LLP?

Leaving an inactive LLP on the register keeps the annual-filing clock running. Here is why partners choose to strike it off.

01

Legally Close a Defunct LLP

Striking off removes the LLP’s name from the register so it formally ceases to exist — the clean, on-record way to shut down.
02

Stop Annual Compliance

Once struck off, the LLP no longer has to file Form 8 (statement of accounts) and Form 11 (annual return) every year.
03

Avoid Mounting Penalties

An abandoned but still-registered LLP keeps accruing late-filing additional fees on unfiled Form 8 and Form 11 — closure stops the meter.
04

Lighter Than Winding Up

Form 24 strike-off is a simpler, faster alternative to formal winding-up proceedings for a defunct LLP with no litigation.
05

Protect the Partners

A proper closure with affidavits and consents gives partners a documented record that the LLP was closed with due process.
06

Free Up the Name & Partners

Closing a dormant LLP releases the partners from an inactive entity and lets the LLP name lapse from the register.

How Long It Takes

How Long Does Striking Off an LLP Take?

Stage	Expected Time
Clear pending Form 8 / Form 11 + close bank account	Depends on backlog
Prepare statement of accounts, affidavits & consents	A few working days
Form 24 filing → ROC notice → strike-off	Subject to ROC processing

The overall time depends on how many years of Form 8 and Form 11 are pending, how quickly the bank account is closed, and ROC processing at your jurisdiction. Clearing the backlog first is usually the longest step. Queries or resubmissions pause the clock until you respond.

Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

What is striking off an LLP?

Striking off is the process of removing a defunct or inactive LLP’s name from the register maintained by the Registrar. Under Rule 37 of the LLP Rules, an LLP that has ceased business — or never commenced it — can apply in Form 24 to be struck off. It is a simpler alternative to formal winding up.

When can an LLP apply for strike-off?

An LLP can apply when it has not carried on any business or operation for one year or more, or has not commenced business since incorporation. All partners must consent, the bank account must be closed, and all liabilities must be cleared before applying.

Which form is used to strike off an LLP?

Form 24 is filed with the Registrar of Companies on the MCA portal, under Rule 37 of the LLP Rules. It is signed with the Digital Signature Certificate of a designated partner and submitted with the required affidavits, consents and statement of accounts.

What is the difference between strike-off and winding up of an LLP?

Strike-off (Form 24) is a lighter, faster route to close a defunct LLP that has no assets, liabilities or disputes. Winding up is a formal process — voluntary or by the Tribunal — used when the LLP has assets to distribute, liabilities to settle, or litigation to resolve. Most dormant LLPs use strike-off.

Do I need to file pending Form 8 and Form 11 before strike-off?

Yes. Any overdue Form 11 (annual return) and Form 8 (statement of accounts) should be filed and brought up to date before the strike-off application, so the LLP’s compliance record is clean when Form 24 is examined.

Do all partners have to consent to the strike-off?

Yes. Form 24 requires the consent of all partners, along with affidavits from each partner and an indemnity bond. A single partner who does not consent can hold up the application.

What is the statement of accounts requirement?

The application must include a statement of accounts showing nil assets and liabilities, certified and dated within 30 days of the date of filing Form 24. It confirms the LLP has no remaining financial position to settle.

Do I have to close the LLP bank account first?

Yes. The LLP’s bank account(s) must be closed before filing Form 24, and proof of closure is attached to the application.

What documents are needed to strike off an LLP?

The LLP incorporation certificate and LLP agreement, PAN of the LLP and partners, a designated partner’s DSC, the statement of accounts (nil, within 30 days), proof of bank-account closure, affidavits and consent of all partners, an indemnity bond, and the latest income-tax return where filed.

What happens after Form 24 is filed?

The Registrar examines the application and, if satisfied, publishes a notice about the proposed strike-off. Unless cause is shown against it, the Registrar then strikes the LLP’s name off the register — dissolving the LLP. TaxClue tracks the SRN and handles any query in the meantime.

Can an LLP be closed if it has liabilities?

No. All liabilities must be discharged before applying for strike-off. If the LLP has liabilities it cannot clear, or has assets and disputes, the appropriate route is winding up rather than a Form 24 strike-off.

Will strike-off stop the annual filing penalties?

Leaving an inactive LLP on the register keeps late-filing additional fees accruing on unfiled Form 8 and Form 11. Bringing filings up to date and then striking the LLP off stops further annual compliance and the penalties that come with abandoning it.

How do I close my LLP using Form 24 step by step?

First cease all business, close the LLP’s bank account(s) and clear every liability, then file any pending Form 8 and Form 11 so the compliance record is up to date. Next prepare a statement of accounts (nil assets and liabilities, dated within 30 days), partner affidavits, an indemnity bond and the consent of all partners, and file Form 24 with the ROC using a designated partner’s DSC. The Registrar then publishes a notice and, unless cause is shown, strikes the LLP off the register.

What is Form 24 and when is it used?

Form 24 is the application filed with the Registrar under Rule 37 of the LLP Rules to strike a defunct or inactive LLP’s name off the register. It is used when an LLP has ceased business (or never commenced it), has no liabilities, and all partners consent — a lighter alternative to formal winding up.

What documents are required to strike off an LLP?

You need the LLP incorporation certificate and LLP agreement, PAN of the LLP and all partners, a designated partner’s DSC, a statement of accounts showing nil assets and liabilities dated within 30 days, proof of closure of the LLP bank account, affidavits and consent of all partners, an indemnity bond, and the latest income-tax return where one has been filed.

Do I have to file pending Form 8 and Form 11 before striking off an LLP?

Yes. Any overdue Form 11 (annual return) and Form 8 (statement of accounts) should be filed and brought up to date before the strike-off application, so the LLP’s compliance record is clean when Form 24 is examined. Clearing this backlog is usually the longest part of the process.

How much does it cost to strike off an LLP?

The cost depends mainly on how many years of Form 8 and Form 11 are pending — because each overdue return carries its own additional government fees — plus the government fee for Form 24 and the professional fee for preparing the accounts, affidavits and application. TaxClue reviews the backlog and then confirms a clear quote, with ₹0 hidden professional charges.

Can an LLP with assets or liabilities be struck off?

No. All liabilities must be discharged and the statement of accounts must show nil assets and liabilities before applying for strike-off under Form 24. Where an LLP still has assets to distribute, liabilities it cannot clear, or ongoing disputes, the correct route is winding up rather than a Form 24 strike-off.
