There are many small enterprises who have formed an LLP (Limited Liability Partnership). It has been almost a decade that the LLP Act came into existence. Businesses started preferring LLP over partnership because of its benefits.
However, there are many LLP who have not done their annual compliance. Delay in any form filing of LLP comes with Rs 100 per day. So, if there is a delay of 30 days for filing any form, you will have to pay 3000 Rs.
Hence the Government came up with LLP Settlement scheme, 2020 for all the defaulting LLPs so that they can avail the benefit and get rid of the old compliance at a very nominal penalty. Read the below details to have a detailed understanding
