MCA extends the date on applicability to defaulting LLP till 30th November 2020



Quick Summary
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has announced an extension for defaulting Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs). This decision, prompted by the widespread disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, pushes the applicability date to 30th November 2020. This means belated documents due for filing up to this new date will be accepted without being considered non-compliance.

In view of the large scale disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and after due examination, MCA has decided to extend the date on applicability to defaulting LLP. Read the official announcement below:
