Dear friend, I have started an LLP with 3 partners and 100000 amount.
After trying for 12 months, we decided to close it and while striking off process, my CA realised that they have forgotten to fill Form 8 and Form 11. Now he is asking us for penalty which is huge. Is there any work around to save ourselves from that penalty?
Why should we suffer due to our CA's mistake? We have followed all the processes suggested by CA and we also paid their fees as per scheduled. Now, any further delay is increasing the penalty and ca is asking us to pay.
Can you give some advice to deal with situation? Any help would be appreciated.

To comply with due process of law is imminent and without knowing complete facts of your case, it would not be fair to comment. However, it is advisable to consult another Chartered Accountant or Legal advisor for second opinion before taking a decision at the earliest.
