LLP Registration
Formation, LLP agreement drafting and annual compliance — limited liability without the full weight of company obligations.
A Limited Liability Partnership sits between a partnership firm and a company. Partners get limited liability, so one partner's mistake does not reach another's personal assets, but the structure avoids much of the machinery a company carries — no board meetings, no company secretary, and materially lighter annual filing.
You need 2 designated partners, at least one resident in India. There is no minimum capital contribution. The document that matters most is the LLP agreement, which sets out profit sharing, decision rights, what happens when a partner leaves and how disputes are settled — and it must be filed in Form 3 within 30 days from incorporation. Where partners skip drafting it properly, the default provisions of the LLP Act apply instead, and those are rarely what anyone actually wanted.
One feature deserves emphasis, because it is the LLP's genuine trap. Annual filings are Form 11 by 30 May and Form 8 by 30 October, and the late fee is ₹100 per day, with no cap. No cap. A dormant LLP that nobody filed for can accumulate a penalty larger than anything the business ever earned — and unlike a company, there is no ceiling to stop it. If you register an LLP, the filings are not optional even in a year with no activity.

If any of these describe where you are right now, this is the service you are looking for.
You are going into business with partners and want limited liability without a company's compliance load.

You want a structure where profit sharing can be defined flexibly by agreement rather than strictly by shareholding.
You have no plans to raise equity funding, which an LLP is poorly suited to.
You are converting an existing partnership firm and want the liability protection without becoming a company.
You want a legal entity that continues regardless of changes in partners.

What you'll need to hand over
Collected once, at the start. We tell you which of these apply to your case before you gather anything.
From every partner
- 01PAN card
- 02Aadhaar card
- 03Passport-sized photograph
- 04Identity proof — passport, driving licence or voter ID
- 05Address proof no older than two months — bank statement, or electricity, telephone or mobile bill
- 06Email address and mobile number
For the registered office
- 01Latest electricity bill, property tax receipt or municipal khata
- 02Rent agreement, where the premises are rented
- 03No Objection Certificate from the owner
For the LLP agreement
- 01Capital contribution by each partner, and in what form
- 02Profit and loss sharing ratio
- 03Which decisions need unanimous consent and which do not

The LLP agreement inputs are worth real thought rather than accepting a template. Almost every LLP dispute we see traces back to an agreement that copied standard clauses and never addressed how these particular partners intended to make decisions or part company.

Common questions
The questions we are actually asked about LLP Registration. If yours is not here, ask us directly.
2 designated partners, at least one resident in India. There is no upper limit on the number of partners, and no minimum capital contribution. Designated partners carry the compliance responsibility, so who takes that role is worth deciding deliberately rather than by default.
Form 11, the annual return, by 30 May. Form 8, the statement of account and solvency, by 30 October. Both are due every year regardless of whether the LLP traded, and both are filed with designated partners' digital signatures.
The late fee is ₹100 per day, with no cap — and the absence of a cap is the problem. A dormant LLP left unfiled for a few years can accumulate a penalty far larger than the business ever earned. This is the single strongest argument for keeping an LLP filed even when inactive.
An LLP for lighter annual compliance and flexible profit sharing. A company if you want outside investment, since investors generally will not take equity in an LLP. Decide on the funding question first — it settles the answer more often than anything else.
It governs everything about how the LLP operates, and must be filed within 30 days from incorporation. Without a properly drafted one, the LLP Act's default provisions apply, and those split profits and decision rights in ways partners rarely intend. Treat it as the main deliverable, not paperwork.
Yes, and it is a common path once a business needs equity funding. Conversion is a formal process rather than a switch, and assets, contracts and registrations all have to be moved across, so it is worth planning the tax treatment before you begin.
Only above prescribed turnover and contribution limits — below those, accounts must still be maintained and Form 8 filed, but a statutory audit is not required. Confirm the current limits with us for your figures, as they determine a meaningful part of your annual cost.
