There are two ways to dissolve an LLP in India:

1. Strike Off (Fast Track Exit — FTE) under Rule 37 of LLP Rules:
- Available if LLP has not commenced business OR has been inactive for 1 year or more
- Steps: Pass resolution of all partners to strike off → File Form 24 on MCA portal with: affidavit by designated partners, indemnity bond, statement of accounts (nil assets & liabilities), consent of all partners, NOC from regulatory authorities if applicable
- The Registrar strikes off the LLP name from the register
- This is the simpler and faster method — no court involvement

2. Winding Up by Tribunal (Compulsory Winding Up): Under Section 64 of the LLP Act, the Tribunal can order winding up in specific circumstances (just and equitable, unable to pay debts, etc.). This involves a liquidator, settling creditor claims, and court process — applicable for LLPs with liabilities/disputes.

3. Voluntary Winding Up: Not yet fully notified under the LLP Act as of 2022 — most voluntary closures use the Strike Off / Form 24 route.

4. Pre-conditions for Strike Off:
- All pending annual filings (Form 8 and Form 11) must be filed and up to date
- All taxes, dues, and liabilities must be cleared
- Bank accounts closed
- GST registration cancelled
- No pending litigation

5. Timeline: Strike off via Form 24 typically takes 3-6 months after filing, subject to Registrar processing time.

6. After Strike Off: Partners are released from ongoing compliance obligations. However, personal liabilities (if any) survive the LLP's dissolution.
