Form 24 – Application for Striking Off Name of LLP under Rule 37 of the LLP Rules 2009 – Affidavit, Indemnity Bond, Statement of Accounts & ROC Strike-Off Process
Form 24 is the prescribed e-form for an LLP to voluntarily apply to the ROC for striking off its name from the register, under Rule 37 of the LLP Rules 2009. It is the simplest, fastest, and most cost-efficient exit route for a defunct, dormant, or never-commenced LLP — substantially shorter than a formal voluntary winding up under the LLP (Winding Up and Dissolution) Rules 2012, and cheaper than continuing annual ROC, GST, and IT compliance year after year.
Form 24 must be filed with a statement of accounts not older than 30 days, an affidavit from each designated partner declaring no active business and no pending dues, an indemnity bond for any future liabilities, consent of all partners, and proofs of bank account closure. Pending Form 8 and Form 11 filings must be cleared first (or NIL declarations made for never-commenced LLPs). Our Form 24 services cover end-to-end eligibility check, pending-compliance cleanup, statement-of-accounts drafting, affidavit / indemnity preparation, ROC filing, public-notice tracking, and final strike-off order.

Key Concepts in Form 24 Strike-Off
Rule 37
Strike-Off Mechanism
Empowers the ROC to strike off the name of a defunct LLP either suo motu or on application by the LLP through Form 24 — a faster, cheaper alternative to formal winding up.
Voluntary
Suo Motu
Form 24
Strike-Off E-Form
The core ROC e-form for striking off — captures LLP details, reasons for strike-off, designated-partner declarations, and all annexures (affidavit, indemnity, accounts).

DSC Filing
SOA
Statement of Accounts
A NIL Statement of Accounts showing no assets and no liabilities, drawn up not earlier than 30 days before the date of Form 24 filing, is mandatory.
≤ 30 Days
NIL Position
Affidavit
Designated Partner Affidavit
Each designated partner files a notarised affidavit on stamp paper declaring no active business, no pending dues, and no litigation against the LLP — under personal liability.

Notarised
Indemnity
Indemnity Bond
An indemnity bond, typically jointly executed by all designated partners on stamp paper, undertakes to pay any future liabilities that may arise after strike-off.

Pre-Conditions
Form 8 / 11 Cleanup
All overdue Form 8 (Statement of Accounts) and Form 11 (Annual Return) must be filed and additional fees paid before Form 24 can be admitted by the ROC.
Catch-Up
Additional Fees
Bank Closure
No Active Bank Account
The LLP must have no operative bank account at the time of Form 24 filing — bank closure letter or non-opening confirmation forms a key annexure.
Closure Letter
Mandatory
Public Notice
30-Day Window
Once Form 24 is admitted, the ROC issues a public notice on the MCA portal inviting objections within a 30-day window; absence of objections leads to strike-off.

Creditor & Lender NOCs
Coordination with creditors, lenders, and statutory authorities for NOCs and confirmation of nil-dues — a critical input to the affidavit and indemnity bond.
Public Notice Tracking
Tracking of ROC public notice on the MCA portal, handling any objections received during the 30-day window, and reply-drafting to avoid rejection.
ROC Resubmission Handling
Where ROC raises queries / resubmissions on Form 24 — clarification drafting, additional documentary support, and follow-up till strike-off order.
Post-Strike-Off Records
Archiving final ROC strike-off order, partner-distribution records, IT / GST closure proofs, and a complete compliance file for future reference.
When You Need Form 24 Filing Support
Operations Stopped
LLP has ceased operations and partners want a clean exit without continuing year-on-year ROC, GST, and IT compliance costs.
Never Commenced
LLP was incorporated but never started business — Form 24 is the fastest and cheapest closure path with simplified documentation.
ROC Backlog
Several years of pending Form 8 / Form 11 with mounting late fees — clean catch-up followed by Form 24 stops the bleeding for good.
DPIN Deactivation Risk
Designated-partner DPINs at risk of deactivation due to LLP non-compliance — Form 24 closure preserves partners' future MCA standing.
Group Restructuring
Redundant group LLP being closed post merger / demerger / conversion of business into a private limited company structure.
Partner Disputes
Mutually agreed exit from a non-operational LLP between disputing partners — Form 24 with full consent provides a clean closure.
ROC Strike-Off Notice
ROC has issued a suo motu strike-off notice — voluntary Form 24 in parallel can structure the closure on partner-friendly terms.
Compliance-Cost Burden
Annual compliance cost and time disproportionate to LLP's residual activity — closure via Form 24 is more efficient than maintenance.
