What is Winding Up of an LLP?
As defined under the LLP Act, 2008, winding up refers to the formal procedure to close an LLP's operations. During winding up, the LLP:
• Stops conducting business activities
• Settles all outstanding liabilities and debts
• Distributes remaining assets among partners
• Ceases to exist after official dissolution
The LLP remains a legal entity until the completion of the winding-up process, and the designated partners or liquidator manage the process on behalf of the LLP.
