An LLP that has had no operations for one year or more, no creditors, and no pending legal matters can be struck off under Rule 37 of the LLP Rules, 2009. The route is Form 24 with affidavits and indemnities from all designated partners.
LLPs with debts must go through voluntary winding-up, which is significantly more involved. We refer those out.

Frequently asked
What if the LLP has been non-compliant for years?+
Pending Form 8 and Form 11 filings must be cleared first, with their late fees (₹100/day per form, no cap). For a 3-4 year backlog this can run to ₹50,000+ before strike-off can be filed. We give you the exact catch-up cost upfront.
Is there a minimum age for the LLP before it can be struck off?+
No minimum. An LLP that never commenced business can be struck off at any time, provided no liabilities exist.
Are the designated partners' DPINs cancelled?+
DPINs themselves stay alive — they are issued to individuals, not to the LLP. After strike-off the designated partners can use the same DPIN if they later set up another LLP.
