There is no IHS applicable for ILR.
What do you mean by extension of ILR?

No. It is only the card expiry NOT the immigration status expiry.

Only your card expires in 2024, not your status. You will only have to apply to renew the card, just like a driving license.

The UK intends to introduce the required new technology ‘in due course’ and any card restricted to 31 December 2024 which is still rightfully held on 1 July 2024 will be replaced free of charge, with the remainder of the leave period initially expected being issued on a new BRP.
If your BRP expires on 31 December 2024
You do not need to tell UKVI if your BRP expires on 31 December 2024 but you have leave to stay longer.

UKVI will update their information on how to update your BRP in early 2024. You do not need to do anything and your immigration status will not be affected.

If you applied for ILR and it fails e.g. not yet qualified for ILR and HO grants you further extension of current leave, then you are obliged to pay IHS.

The point i didnt understand is , the line didnt make sense to me , where it says indefinte leave to remain but given limited leave?
if thats the case its not a indefinite leave .

in my partners case it expires in 2024 does it count as limited leave?

No! Everyone’s ILR BRP “card” expires in 2024. It will be updated with new technology after that.

You are not applying for ILR again. You are only renewing the BRP.

That line is referring to people who apply for ILR but since they do not meet certain criteria are hence only granted LIMITED leave to remain. If you have been granted indefinite leave to remain, it is as it says on the tin - INDEFINITE. So like a driving license, your status of being able to drive doesn't expire but the card needs to be renewed every x years. Same is the case with ILR, only the card needs to be renewed. Were you granted ILR initially? What does the BRP say your status is?
