Overview

Limited Liability Partnership Registration in India

A Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) combines the operational flexibility of a partnership with the limited liability protection of a company, governed by the Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008 and registered with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA). It needs a minimum of two partners with no upper limit, at least two designated partners (one resident in India), and there is no minimum capital requirement to get started. LLPs are a popular choice for professional firms and small to mid-sized businesses because they carry lighter compliance than a private limited company while still protecting each partner's personal assets from business liabilities. First Auditor manages the entire registration — from partner DSC and name approval to your Certificate of Incorporation and LLP Agreement filing — end to end.

LLP Registration Services
Who Needs This Service

Is an LLP the right fit for you?

This structure suits partners who want shared ownership, limited liability, and a lighter compliance load than a private limited company.

  • Professional service firms — CAs, CS, architects, consultants, and agencies with two or more partners
  • Small and mid-sized businesses that want limited liability without heavy annual compliance
  • Partners who want a formal, MCA-registered entity to sign contracts and open current accounts
  • Two or more partners who want a partnership agreement with clearly defined roles and profit shares
  • Businesses that don't plan to raise venture capital, where an LLP's simpler structure is sufficient
  • Existing partnership firms looking to convert into a structure with limited liability protection
Eligibility Requirements

Who can register an LLP

  • Minimum 2 partners; there is no maximum limit on the number of partners
  • Minimum 2 designated partners, at least one resident in India
  • Each designated partner needs a Designated Partner Identification Number (DPIN) and Digital Signature Certificate (DSC)
  • A unique proposed name, not identical or too similar to an existing company, LLP, or trademark
  • A registered office address in India (owned, rented, or shared, with proof)
  • No minimum capital contribution required to incorporate
Documents Required

What to keep ready

Documents are grouped the way the Registrar reviews them — partners, registered office, and LLP particulars.

Partners
  • PAN card of every partner (minimum 2 partners)
  • Identity proof — Aadhaar, Voter ID, Passport, or Driving Licence
  • Recent bank statement, mobile/electricity or gas bill (within 2 months)
  • Passport-size photo and specimen signature of every partner
Registered Office
  • Utility bill of the office (electricity/telephone, within 2 months)
  • Rent agreement (if rented) with a No Objection Certificate from the owner
  • Sale deed / property tax receipt (if self-owned premises)
LLP Particulars
  • Proposed LLP name — 1 to 2 preferences with business activity
  • LLP Agreement details — profit-sharing ratio and contribution of each partner
  • Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) for all designated partners
  • Stamp paper for the LLP Agreement, as prescribed by the state of registration
Step-by-Step Procedure

How your incorporation file moves through the Registrar

Each stage is a real, sequential filing step on the MCA LLP e-filing system.

01
1–2 working days

Digital Signature & Designated Partner Identification Number

We obtain a Class 3 Digital Signature Certificate and DPIN for every designated partner — required to sign all e-forms filed with the MCA. An existing DIN can also be used.

02
1–2 working days

Name approval via RUN-LLP

We check availability and reserve your proposed LLP name with the Registrar of Companies.

03
2–3 working days

Filing the FiLLiP incorporation form

We prepare and file the FiLLiP form with details of partners, registered office, and proposed contribution, along with PAN and TAN applications.

04
2–4 working days

Registrar review and query resolution

The ROC examines the filing. If any clarification is sought, we respond on your behalf within the resubmission window.

05
1–2 working days

Certificate of Incorporation, PAN & TAN

On approval, the Registrar issues the Certificate of Incorporation with your LLP Identification Number (LLPIN), along with LLP PAN and TAN.

06
Within 30 days of incorporation

LLP Agreement filing & compliance kick-off

We draft and file the LLP Agreement (Form 3) on stamp paper, assist with opening the current bank account, and set up the first-year statutory compliance calendar.

Authority, Timeline & Fees

Where the file goes, and what it costs

Government Authority

Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), through the jurisdictional Registrar of Companies (ROC), via the LLP e-filing portal.

Estimated Processing Period

Typically 10–15 working days from complete document submission, depending on ROC workload and query resolution time.

Identifiers Issued

LLPIN, LLP PAN, and TAN are issued together with the Certificate of Incorporation.

Fee Structure

A government/statutory fee paid directly to the MCA, plus stamp duty on the LLP Agreement and a professional fee for drafting, filing, and follow-up.

ComponentPaid toNature of charge
Government / statutory fee Ministry of Corporate Affairs Varies with total contribution amount of the LLP
Stamp duty on LLP Agreement State government Varies by state and contribution amount
DSC & DPIN charges Certifying authority / MCA Fixed, per designated partner
Professional fee First Auditor Quoted upfront, one-time

Government fees and stamp duty are prescribed by the MCA and the state of registration, and change based on the contribution amount; our team quotes every component separately before you proceed, with nothing added later.

Validity & Renewal

Does the registration expire?

A Certificate of Incorporation has no expiry date — the LLP continues with "perpetual succession" until formally wound up, struck off, or dissolved. There is no renewal filing for the certificate itself, but the LLP must stay active through recurring statutory compliance:

  • Annual Statement of Account & Solvency (Form 8) filed with the ROC
  • Annual Return (Form 11) filed with the ROC every financial year
  • Statutory income tax return filing and, where the contribution or turnover crosses the prescribed limit, a tax audit
  • Any change in partners or the LLP Agreement reported to the ROC within the prescribed time
Common Reasons for Rejection

What causes the Registrar to reject or resubmit a filing

  • Proposed name too similar to an existing company, LLP, or registered trademark
  • Mismatch between PAN, Aadhaar, and address proof details of partners
  • Incomplete or expired address proof for the registered office
  • Missing or improperly executed No Objection Certificate from the property owner
  • Errors or vague wording in the LLP Agreement's object or contribution clauses
  • DSC or DPIN not properly linked or expired at the time of filing

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ

Registration typically takes 8 to 12 working days from complete document submission. Providing accurate information and complete documents upfront helps avoid Registrar queries that can extend this timeline.

Shareholders are liable only up to the amount they invest in the company. Personal assets of directors and shareholders are not at risk if the company runs into debt, except in cases of proven fraud or personal guarantees.

You need a minimum of two shareholders and two directors. The same two individuals can serve as both shareholders and directors of the company.

ID and address proof of each director, address proof and NOC for the registered office, and, once operational, the company's bank statements. See the "Documents Required" section above for the full checklist by category.

Yes — a Private Limited Company cannot have more than 200 members. Beyond that limit, it must convert into a public limited company and comply with public company rules.

No. The certificate itself never expires. The company must instead stay compliant through annual ROC filings, AGMs, and tax returns to remain in active status.
