With this amendment, LLP Form 24 has been introduced by the MCA and it is now possible to easily close a LLP by making an application to the Registrar for striking off name of LLP. In this article, we look at LLP Form 24 and the procedure for striking off name of LLP in detail.

Close your LLP
When a limited liability partnership is dissolved, the following steps must be taken:
1. The Registrar or the LLP itself can file an application for striking off the name of LLP from the Register of Limited Liability Partnerships.
2. On receiving this application, the Registrar sends out a notice to all partners and all other people who have been mentioned in any documents submitted by the LLP for registration. This notice informs these people about his intention to remove the name of the LLP from the register and asks them to send their representations along with copies of relevant documents within one month from the date of notice (which should also be placed on MCA website).
3. After one month has passed without any adverse representations being received, if satisfied about striking off name of LLP, Registrar may strike off name of LLP from Register and publish a notice in Official Gazette. On publication of notice in Official Gazette, LLP stands dissolved automatically
