Any change in the partners or the LLP Agreement of a Limited Liability Partnership — admitting a new partner, a partner ceasing, or amending the rights, duties, capital or profit-sharing terms — must be filed with the Registrar of Companies (ROC) under the LLP Act, 2008. You execute a supplementary LLP agreement, then file Form 3 (change in the LLP agreement) and, where a partner is appointed or has ceased, Form 4 (appointment / cessation of partner or designated partner) — both within 30 days of the change. A newly admitted designated partner needs a DPIN and a DSC.
30 days
Filing windowForm 3 and Form 4 must reach the ROC within 30 days of the change — late filing attracts additional government fees.
Understand It

What Is Changes in LLP Partner / Agreement?

A quick, plain-language explanation before the details.

In simple terms

A change in LLP partner or agreement is the formal, ROC-recorded update to your LLP when a partner joins or leaves, or when the terms of your LLP Agreement are amended.

Legally

Under the LLP Act, 2008, every LLP is governed by its LLP Agreement, and any change to that agreement or to the constitution of partners must be recorded by filing the prescribed forms with the Registrar. Form 3 captures changes in the LLP agreement, and Form 4 captures the appointment or cessation of a partner or designated partner.

Governing authority

Administered by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) through the Registrar of Companies (ROC) via the MCA21 portal, using LLP Form 3 and LLP Form 4.

Validity

Once approved, the change is recorded permanently in the LLP master data. The supplementary agreement forms part of the LLP Agreement going forward.

Why It Matters

Why Must a Change in Partner or Agreement Be Filed?

The LLP Agreement and the register of partners are the legal record of who owns and runs your LLP. Recording changes on time keeps that record accurate and enforceable.

  1. 01

    Stay Compliant

    The LLP Act, 2008 requires Form 3 and Form 4 to be filed within 30 days of any change. On-time filing avoids additional government fees that accrue for delay.

  2. 02

    Keep the Record Accurate

    Admitting or removing a partner without updating the ROC leaves your master data wrong — a mismatch that surfaces in due diligence, banking and audits.

  3. 03

    Protect Outgoing Partners

    A partner who has ceased remains on record — and potentially liable — until Form 4 is filed. Timely cessation filing closes that exposure.

  4. 04

    Fix Profit & Capital Terms

    Changes to profit-sharing ratio or capital contribution are only legally settled once the supplementary agreement is executed and Form 3 is filed.

  5. 05

    Enforce the New Terms

    An amended clause is enforceable between partners once documented in the supplementary agreement and reflected on the ROC record.

  6. 06

    Support Banking & Deals

    Banks, investors and buyers rely on the current partner list and agreement. Accurate filings smooth loans, onboarding and transactions.

The supplementary LLP agreement must be executed on stamp paper of the applicable state value and signed by the partners before Form 3 is filed.

Consent and resolution needed

An incoming partner's consent and a resolution of the partners approving the change are required; an outgoing partner needs a resignation / cessation letter.

Step by Step

How to Change an LLP Partner or Agreement (Step by Step)

The entire process happens online through the MCA21 portal, with the supplementary agreement executed on stamp paper.

01

Consultation & scope

Confirm the exact change — admission, cessation or agreement amendment — and the forms it triggers (Form 3, Form 4 or both).

02

Resolution & consent

Pass the partners' resolution and collect the incoming partner's consent or the outgoing partner's cessation letter.

03

DPIN & DSC (if a new partner)

Obtain a DPIN and Class-3 Digital Signature Certificate for any newly admitted designated partner.

04

Draft the supplementary agreement

Draft and execute the supplementary LLP agreement on stamp paper, recording the revised partners, capital or clauses.

05

File Form 4 and Form 3

File Form 4 for appointment / cessation and Form 3 for the change in the LLP agreement with the ROC, digitally signed and certified.

06

ROC approval & updated records

Track the SRN, clear any query, and receive the approved filings with the updated partner list in the LLP master data.

How Long It Takes

How Long Does an LLP Partner / Agreement Change Take?

StageExpected Time
DPIN + DSC for a new designated partner (if required)2–5 working days
Supplementary agreement drafting & execution2–4 working days
Form 4 + Form 3 filing and ROC approval7–15 working days

Both Form 3 and Form 4 must be filed within 30 days of the change. Overall timing depends on how quickly the supplementary agreement is executed and on ROC processing; resubmission queries can extend it until resolved. Late filing does not block the change but attracts additional government fees.

Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Form 3 and Form 4 for an LLP?
Form 3 records a change in the LLP Agreement — for example, a revised profit-sharing ratio, capital contribution or amended clauses. Form 4 records the appointment or cessation of a partner or designated partner. When a partner joins or leaves, both forms are usually filed together because the agreement and the partner list both change.
How long do I have to file the change with the ROC?
Both Form 3 and Form 4 must be filed within 30 days of the change taking effect. Filing after 30 days is still possible but attracts additional government fees that increase with the length of the delay.
Do I need a supplementary agreement to change my LLP?
Yes. Any change in partners or in the terms of the LLP Agreement is given effect through a supplementary LLP agreement, executed on stamp paper and signed by the partners. Form 3 is then filed with the supplementary agreement attached.
Does a new partner need a DPIN and DSC?
A person being appointed as a designated partner needs a Designated Partner Identification Number (DPIN) and a Class-3 Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) — the DSC is used to digitally sign the forms. An ordinary partner who is not designated does not require a DPIN, but a DSC is needed to sign filings.
Can a partner be removed from an LLP?
Yes. A partner can cease by resignation, by agreement among the partners, or as provided in the LLP Agreement. The cessation is recorded in a supplementary agreement and filed in Form 4 (and Form 3 where the agreement itself changes). A cessation letter or resolution supports the filing.
What happens if I do not file the change on time?
The change is not properly recorded in the LLP master data until the forms are filed and approved. Late filing attracts additional government fees, and an outgoing partner may remain on record — and potentially exposed to liability — until Form 4 is filed.
Can I change the profit-sharing ratio without adding or removing a partner?
Yes. A change purely to profit-sharing ratio, capital contribution or other clauses of the LLP Agreement is recorded in a supplementary agreement and filed in Form 3 alone — Form 4 is only needed when a partner is appointed or ceases.
Can an NRI or foreign national become a partner in an LLP?
Yes. An NRI or foreign national can be admitted as a partner or designated partner, subject to obtaining a DPIN, a DSC, and complying with applicable FDI and sectoral rules. A passport is the mandatory identity proof for a foreign national.
Is stamp duty payable on the supplementary LLP agreement?
Yes. The supplementary LLP agreement must be executed on stamp paper of the value applicable in the relevant state. The exact stamp value depends on the state and the nature of the change, such as a change in capital contribution.
Does a change in partners affect the LLP's PAN or bank account?
The LLP's PAN and LLPIN stay the same, but you should update the bank on authorised-signatory changes and refresh internal records. Where partners are the basis of other registrations, such as GST, those details may also need updating.
Can TaxClue handle the whole change end to end?
Yes. TaxClue drafts the supplementary agreement, arranges DPIN and DSC for a new designated partner, prepares and files Form 3 and Form 4, and responds to any ROC query — 100% online, at a fixed fee quoted upfront.
Is the first consultation free?
Yes — the first consultation is free. A CA/CS expert reviews your situation, confirms which forms your change needs, and gives you a clear quote with no obligation.
How do I add a new partner to an LLP?
To admit a partner you obtain their consent, pass a resolution of the partners, and execute a supplementary LLP agreement on stamp paper recording the new partner’s capital and profit share. You then file Form 4 (appointment of partner / designated partner) and Form 3 (change in the LLP agreement) with the ROC within 30 days. A new designated partner also needs a DPIN and a Class-3 DSC.
How do I remove a partner from an LLP?
A partner ceases by resignation, by agreement among the partners, or as provided in the LLP Agreement, supported by a cessation / resignation letter. The cessation is recorded in a supplementary agreement and filed in Form 4 within 30 days, with Form 3 filed where the agreement terms also change, so the outgoing partner is removed from the LLP master data.
What is Form 4 and what is its due date?
Form 4 is the LLP e-form used to record the appointment or cessation of a partner or designated partner, and any change in their name or details, under the LLP Act, 2008. It must be filed with the ROC within 30 days of the change; late filing does not block the change but attracts additional government fees.
What documents are required to change an LLP partner?
For an incoming partner you need PAN and Aadhaar (passport for a foreign national / NRI), address proof, a photograph, consent to act as partner, and a DPIN and DSC for a designated partner. For an outgoing partner you need a resignation / cessation letter. In all cases a partners’ resolution and a supplementary LLP agreement on stamp paper are required before Form 3 and Form 4 are filed.
Is stamp duty payable on the supplementary LLP agreement?
Yes. The supplementary LLP agreement giving effect to a partner or clause change must be executed on stamp paper of the value applicable in the relevant state. The exact stamp value depends on the state and the nature of the change, such as a change in the capital contribution of the LLP.
How much does it cost to change an LLP partner or agreement?
The cost comprises the government filing fees for Form 3 and Form 4 (which depend on the LLP’s capital contribution), the stamp duty on the supplementary agreement, any DPIN / DSC cost for a new designated partner, and the professional fee. TaxClue quotes a single fixed fee upfront covering the work, with ₹0 hidden professional charges.
