Close Your Inactive LLP Through MCA Form 24

If your LLP is no longer carrying on business or operations and you want to formally close it, LLP Form 24 provides the prescribed route for applying to the Registrar of Companies (RoC) for striking off the LLP's name from the register.

An LLP cannot simply be considered closed because it has stopped doing business. Under Section 75 of the LLP Act, 2008 read with Rule 37 of the LLP Rules, 2009, an LLP that has not been carrying on business or operation for one year or more can apply for striking off its name, subject to the applicable conditions.

When Should an LLP Consider Strike-Off?

Form 24 may be relevant where an LLP has become inactive and the partners do not intend to restart its business.

Inactive LLP

The LLP was incorporated but never commenced meaningful business operations.

Business Discontinued

The LLP previously operated but the business has permanently stopped.

No Future Business Plans

The partners do not intend to continue the LLP.

Unused LLP

The LLP was created for a proposed business activity that was subsequently abandoned.

Business Restructuring

The partners have decided to discontinue the existing LLP as part of a broader restructuring.

Avoid Ongoing Compliance

Leaving an inactive LLP on MCA records may create unnecessary compliance obligations.

Simply having zero turnover is not by itself the entire eligibility test. The LLP must satisfy the statutory and MCA conditions applicable to Form 24.
