Consent of All Partners

All partners of the LLP must provide consent for the voluntary strike-off application.

The LLP must provide a CA-certified statement of account disclosing nil assets and nil liabilities, as required under Rule 37.

Pending Annual Returns

Bank Account Closure

Any bank account opened by the LLP must have been closed, with supporting bank evidence. A declaration is required where no account was opened.

No Disqualifying Proceedings
