Quick Summary

The Ministry of Corporate Affairs has extended the LLP Settlement Scheme, 2020, due to the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. This extension allows defaulting LLPs to file belated documents that were due up to 30th November 2020. Importantly, if a statement of account and solvency for the financial year 2019-2020 was signed after the six-month period but no later than 30th November 2020, it will not be considered non-compliance.
