The BharatFilings Advantage

Supplementary Agreement

We meticulously draft the supplementary LLP agreement outlining the new profit-sharing ratio and capital contributions.

DPIN & DSC Assistance

For new designated partners, we process the Designated Partner Identification Number (DPIN) and secure their Digital Signature.

Penalty-Free Filing

Once all signatures are affixed, we file Form 3 and Form 4 with the ROC immediately to prevent late penalties.

Mandatory MCA Rules for LLPs

The LLP Act, 2008 lays out strict guidelines for the admission and cessation of partners. Non-compliance can render the partnership changes invalid.

Statutory Limits

1. Minimum Designated Partners

An LLP must maintain a statutory minimum number of partners at all times.

  • Minimum 2 Designated Partners are required.
  • At least 1 Designated Partner must be a resident of India.
  • If partners fall below 2, the remaining partner is personally liable if business continues for more than 6 months.
Prerequisites

2. DPIN & Digital Signature

Before an individual can be added to the LLP, they must have the required digital identity.

  • DPIN/DIN: A unique lifetime number allotted by the MCA. Required for appointment as a Designated Partner.
  • DSC: Mandatory for digitally signing the LLP forms and consent letters.
Form 3 & Form 4

3. Crucial MCA Filings

Changing partners triggers the filing of two specific forms with the Registrar of Companies.

  • Form 4: Notice of appointment, cessation, or change in particulars of a partner.
  • Form 3: Information regarding the LLP Agreement and changes made therein (must attach the Supplementary Agreement).
30-Day Deadline

4. Strict Filing Deadlines

The LLP is legally bound to inform the ROC about the addition or removal of a partner within a strict timeframe.

  • Both Form 3 and Form 4 must be filed within 30 days of the date of appointment or resignation.
  • Delay leads to an ongoing penalty of ₹100 per day per form.
