LLP Registration Online — Limited Liability Partnership in 10–15 Days

An LLP (Limited Liability Partnership) is a hybrid structure that combines partnership flexibility with company-like limited liability. Key differences: LLP has partners (not shareholders), no share capital structure, lower annual compliance costs, cannot issue equity or ESOPs. A Pvt Ltd company has shareholders, can raise equity funding, issue ESOPs, and is preferred by investors and VCs. LLP is ideal for CA firms, law firms, consultancies, and professional service firms. Pvt Ltd is better for product startups planning to raise investment.

You need: (1) Minimum 2 designated partners — both can also be regular partners; (2) At least one designated partner must be an Indian resident (stayed in India for at least 182 days in the previous year); (3) A unique LLP name approved by MCA; (4) A registered office address in India; (5) No minimum capital requirement — you can start with any contribution amount agreed between partners.

The complete LLP registration process takes 10–15 working days. Name approval: 1–2 days, DPIN and DSC: 2–3 days, MCA filing and Certificate of Incorporation: 5–10 days. Our team keeps you updated at every step via WhatsApp.

Designated Partners are responsible for the LLP's compliance — they sign forms, file returns with MCA, and are accountable to regulators. Every LLP must have at least 2 Designated Partners. Regular partners are only financially involved (contribute capital, share profits) but are not responsible for compliance. All designated partners must have a DPIN (Designated Partner Identification Number).

Yes, an LLP Agreement is a mandatory legal document that governs the LLP's operations. It must be filed with MCA within 30 days of incorporation (Form 3). It includes: partner names and contributions, profit-sharing ratio, roles and responsibilities, decision-making process, partner admission/exit procedure, dispute resolution mechanism, and winding-up provisions. Our CS team drafts a comprehensive customized LLP Agreement as part of the registration service.

An LLP is required to get its accounts audited only if: (1) its annual turnover exceeds ₹40 lakhs, or (2) its partner contribution exceeds ₹25 lakhs. Below these thresholds, audit is optional. This is a major advantage over Pvt Ltd companies where audit is mandatory regardless of size. Even without audit, LLPs must file annual returns (Form 11) and Statement of Accounts (Form 8) with MCA.

LLP annual compliances: (1) Form 11 (Annual Return) — due within 60 days of financial year end (by 30th May every year); (2) Form 8 (Statement of Account & Solvency) — due within 30 days of 6 months from financial year end (by 30th October); (3) Income Tax Return — ITR-5 by due date; (4) GST returns if registered. No mandatory board meetings or AGM required. Total annual ROC fees are typically just ₹50–₹200 — much lower than Pvt Ltd.

Yes, a company or another LLP can be a partner (or even designated partner) in an LLP. However, for a body corporate to be a designated partner, it must authorize a natural person to act on its behalf. This is useful for businesses that want to create subsidiary LLPs under a parent company structure.

Yes, an LLP can be converted to a Private Limited Company under Section 366 of the Companies Act, 2013 and the Companies (Authorized to Register) Rules, 2014. The conversion involves approval from MCA, issuance of a new Certificate of Incorporation, and cancellation of the LLP registration. Our team handles conversions as well — message us on WhatsApp for details.

GST registration for an LLP follows the same rules as any business: mandatory if annual turnover exceeds ₹40 lakhs (goods) or ₹20 lakhs (services), or if you make inter-state supplies, or if you sell on e-commerce platforms. Our Complete plan includes GST registration along with LLP incorporation. You can also add it separately at any time.
