LLP Compliance · Panaji, Goa
Clean closure of your LLP in Goa — a strike-off in Form 24 for a defunct LLP, or a voluntary winding up where there are affairs to settle — handled after clearing the pending Form 11 and Form 8 filings, so the LLP is closed properly and the partners are released.
Overview
When an LLP has stopped operating, it should be formally closed rather than left to accumulate defaults. The common route for a defunct LLP is a strike-off in Form 24 — available where the LLP has had no business and has filed its overdue returns, with the partners' consent and accounts.
Where there are assets or liabilities to deal with, a voluntary winding up may be required instead. A key step is bringing the Form 11 and Form 8 filings up to date before applying. We assess the route, clear the pending compliances, and execute the closure — comparable to a company winding up and informed by your Form 8 position.

Frequently asked questions
An LLP can be closed by a strike-off in Form 24 — suitable for a defunct LLP that has ceased business — or by a voluntary winding up where there are assets and liabilities to settle. We advise the route that fits the LLP's situation and execute it.
Form 24 is the application to the Registrar to strike off the name of a defunct LLP. It is available where the LLP has not carried on business for a defined period and has filed its overdue returns, supported by partners' consent and a statement of accounts. We prepare and file it.
Yes. Before a strike-off, the LLP generally must bring its Form 11 and Form 8 filings up to date, since pending annual filings block the closure. We clear the overdue compliances first so the strike-off application goes through.
Abandoning an LLP is risky — late-filing fees keep accruing, designated partners can face penalties, and the LLP may be struck off involuntarily with consequences. A formal closure releases the partners cleanly, which is why it is worth doing properly.
Voluntary winding up is appropriate when the LLP has assets to distribute or liabilities to settle, requiring a formal process, whereas strike-off suits a genuinely defunct LLP with a clean slate. We assess and recommend the correct route.
A strike-off typically needs the partners' consent, an affidavit and indemnity, a statement of accounts, the up-to-date annual filings, and closure of bank accounts. We compile these so the application is complete and accepted.
