How to Incorporate a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) in India ?

Limited Liability Partnership is a new corporate structure that combines the flexibility of a partnership and the advantages of limited liability of a company at a low compliance cost. In other words, it is an alternative corporate business vehicle that provides the benefits of limited liability of a company, but allows its members the flexibility of organizing their internal management on the basis of a mutually arrived agreement, as is the case in a partnership firm.

The process for incorporation of LLP is given below:

Step 1: Decide on the partners and the designated partners.

  • The minimum number of partners to incorporate a LLP is two; they may be individuals or body corporate who may be acting through their representatives.
  • There is no upper limit on the maximum number of partners of LLP.
  • Out of the partners two shall be designated partners one of whom shall be resident in India

 

Step 2: Obtain Director Identification Number (DIN) and a digital signature certificate.

The concept of DIN has been implemented under MCA21 e-Governance. All those who are intending to be Partners are required to apply for allotment of DIN 1.    A fee of Rs. 100 is chargeable by MCA for this purpose. Applicant can apply for DIN through below link-

A Digital Signature Certificate, like hand written signature, establishes the identity of the sender filing the documents through internet which sender cannot revoke or deny. Digital Signature also ensures that no alterations are made to the data once the document has been digitally signed. A DSC is normally valid for 1 or 2 years, after which it can be renewed.

There are various providers of Digital Signature-

MTNL, Ncode, TCS,etc.

 

Step 3: Decide on the name of the LLP and check whether it is available

  • The name with which LLP is to be incorporated is to be decided.
  • Application shall be made in E-Form 1 for the availability of the proposed name with the Registrar of LLP
  • The name of the limited liability partnership shall not be identical with Company or LLP already registered in India and it should not contains words prohibited under the ‘Emblems and Names (Prevention of improper use) Act, 1950’ or which are also not ‘Undesirable’ in the opinion of Central Government or which satisfies the conditions prescribed under rule 18(2).
  • An applicable fee has to be paid for name approval.

  • LLP agreement contains a subscription sheet which must be subscribed by the partners who shall sign the same along with their name. The subscription sheet must be witnessed by any chartered Accountant/Company Secretary/Advocate in practice.
  • The LLP Agreement must be stamped in accordance with the stamp Act applicable in the relevant state where LLP is being incorporated.
