LLP Registration

Limited liability with far lighter annual compliance. Well suited to professional firms and partnerships that will not raise equity.

10–15 working days

What this is

A limited liability partnership combines the internal flexibility of a partnership with the limited liability of a company. Partners agree among themselves how the firm is run through the LLP agreement, while their personal liability stays limited to their agreed contribution.

The attraction is the compliance load. An LLP files two annual forms rather than a company's full suite, and a statutory audit is required only above turnover of ₹40 lakh or contribution of ₹25 lakh. For a professional practice or a services firm not seeking outside equity, that difference compounds every year.

The limitation is equally clear: an LLP cannot issue shares, so venture funding is effectively closed to it.

Penalties

Late filing of Form 8 or Form 11 attracts ₹100 per day per form with no ceiling. Because LLP compliance looks light, this is the most commonly missed filing we see — and the penalty accrues silently.

An LLP that does not file for a prolonged period may be struck off, and designated partners face disqualification.

FAQs

LLP or private limited — which should I choose?

If you will raise external equity, choose a private limited company; an LLP cannot issue shares. If you are a professional firm or a services business funding itself from revenue, an LLP costs materially less to maintain every year.

Is an audit compulsory for an LLP?

Only if turnover exceeds ₹40 lakh or partner contribution exceeds ₹25 lakh in a financial year. Below both thresholds no statutory audit is required.

Can I convert my LLP into a private limited company later?

Yes, under section 366 of the Companies Act. It is a separate process with its own cost and timeline.

When must the LLP agreement be filed?

In Form 3 within 30 days of incorporation. Late filing carries the ₹100 per day penalty, so this is not a step to defer.

Can an LLP be formed with a corporate partner?

Yes. A company or another LLP may be a partner, though a designated partner must be an individual.

What is the stamp duty on the LLP agreement?

It is a state subject and varies with the state and the contribution amount. We compute it for your state before execution — the figures shown here are indicative samples until confirmed.
