Overview

What this filing does

An LLP that has been inactive for one year or more, has no creditors, and has no pending legal matters can be closed by filing the closure application (Form 24) with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs. The application is supported by affidavits and indemnity letters from all designated partners.

LLPs that still have debts have to go through voluntary winding-up, which is far more involved and handled as a separate engagement.

When you need this

Common reasons founders engage this

  • The LLP has either never started business or has not operated for one year or more.
  • There are no creditor claims, no ongoing litigation, and no tax disputes.
  • All designated partners agree to close the LLP.
From your side

Documents you will need to send

Most of these can be scanned or photographed from your phone. Everything required is listed in the checklist sent the same day, so nothing is collected later as a surprise.

  • Affidavit from each designated partner (drafted for signature).
  • Indemnity letter from each designated partner (drafted for signature).
  • Statement of accounts (NIL or near-NIL), dated within 30 days of the application.
  • Annual return (Form 11) and Statement of Account & Solvency (Form 8) filed up to date for the last two years — or a declaration that no business was carried on.
  • Bank account closure proof.
Step by step

How it works

  1. 01.

    Eligibility check and engagement

    Day 1–3

    Eligibility is confirmed — no creditors, no operations, no pending matters. The document checklist arrives the same day.

  2. 02.

    Pending filings cleared

    Day 4–14

    If the annual return or solvency filings are overdue, those are filed first (or a declaration is provided that no business was carried on). This is included within the engagement.

  3. 03.

    Affidavits and closure application filed

    Day 15–25

    The affidavits and indemnity letters are drafted. Designated partners sign and notarise. The closure application (Form 24) is filed with all supporting documents.

  4. 04.

    Public notice and strike-off

    Day 25–90

    The Registrar publishes a notice and waits 30 days for objections. If none are received, the LLP is struck off and dissolved.
