What is an LLP?
A Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) is a separate legal entity registered under the LLP Act, 2008. It combines the operational flexibility of a partnership with limited liability — so a partner’s personal assets are protected from the firm’s debts. It suits professional practices and settled, partner-run businesses that want protection without a company’s heavier compliance.
Eligibility
- Designated partners: minimum 2, no maximum; at least one resident in India.
- Capital: no minimum contribution.
- Name: unique and not similar to an existing company, LLP or trademark.
Documents required
| For | Documents |
|---|---|
| Each designated partner | PAN card; Aadhaar; identity proof (Voter ID / Passport / Driving Licence); address proof — bank statement or electricity / mobile bill not older than 2 months; passport-size photo; email & mobile |

Step-by-step process
- DSC for the designated partners.

- Certificate of Incorporation issued with LLPIN, PAN and TAN.
- LLP agreement drafted and filed in Form 3 within 30 days.
After registration
Every LLP files two annual MCA returns — Form 11 (by 30 May) and Form 8 (by 30 October) — plus its income tax return. An audit is required only if turnover exceeds ₹40 lakh or contribution exceeds ₹25 lakh. We handle your LLP return filing and accounting so nothing is missed.
