LLP Registration
Online in India

What is an LLP?

A Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) is a hybrid business structure that combines the best of both worlds — the flexibility and simplicity of a partnership firm and the limited liability protection of a private limited company.

LLPs are governed by the Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008, and regulated by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA). Each partner's liability is limited to their agreed contribution — personal assets are fully protected from business debts and obligations of other partners.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is an LLP and how is it different from a Pvt. Ltd. company?+
  An LLP (Limited Liability Partnership) combines the flexibility of a partnership with the limited liability of a company. Unlike a Pvt. Ltd., an LLP does not have shareholders or share capital — partners contribute capital and share profits as defined in the LLP Agreement. LLPs have simpler compliance requirements and lower costs, but cannot raise equity funding like a Pvt. Ltd. company.
• What are the minimum requirements to register an LLP?+

  You need:

  • Minimum 2 Designated Partners (at least 1 must be an Indian resident)
  • No minimum capital — you can start with any amount
  • A registered office address in India
  • Valid PAN, Aadhaar, and ID proof of all partners
  • DSC and DPIN for all designated partners
• How long does LLP registration take?+
  With complete documents, TaxClue typically completes LLP registration in 10–15 working days. This includes DSC, DPIN, name reservation via RUN-LLP, FiLLiP form filing, Certificate of Incorporation, and Form 3 (LLP Agreement) filing.
• What are the annual compliance requirements for an LLP?+

  Every LLP must file the following annually — even with nil transactions:

  • Form 11 (Annual Return) — within 60 days of end of financial year
  • Form 8 (Statement of Account & Solvency) — within 30 days from the end of 6 months of the financial year
  • Income Tax Return (ITR-5) — before the applicable due date
  • Statutory Audit — only if turnover exceeds ₹40 lakh or contribution exceeds ₹25 lakh

  Non-compliance attracts ₹100 per day penalty with no upper limit. TaxClue's annual package ensures you never miss a filing.

• Is there a minimum capital requirement for an LLP?+
  No. There is no minimum capital requirement for registering an LLP. Partners can contribute any amount as agreed in the LLP Agreement. Contributions can be in the form of cash, property, moveable or immoveable assets, or services.
• Can an LLP be converted into a Private Limited Company?+
  Yes. An LLP can be converted into a Private Limited Company under the Companies Act, 2013, following prescribed procedures and MCA approvals. Post-conversion, the entity must comply with all Pvt. Ltd. compliance requirements. TaxClue provides end-to-end conversion services.
• Can a foreign national be a designated partner in an Indian LLP?+
  Yes. A foreign national can be a designated partner in an Indian LLP. However, at least one designated partner must be an Indian resident (stayed in India for 182+ days in the previous calendar year). Foreign partners require a DPIN and apostille-attested KYC documents from their home country.
• What is an LLP Agreement and is it mandatory?+
  An LLP Agreement is the constitutional document that governs the rights, duties, profit-sharing ratios, and decision-making processes between partners. It is legally mandatory — Form 3 (LLP Agreement) must be filed with MCA within 30 days of incorporation. Without it, the LLP is governed by Schedule I of the LLP Act, which may not suit all business needs. TaxClue's legal team drafts a customised agreement for your LLP.
