Alter Your LLP Agreement
Legally & Securely.
Whether changing profit-sharing ratios, business activities, capital contributions, or partner rights, amending your LLP Agreement requires strict adherence to the LLP Act, 2008. We handle drafting, stamping, and MCA filing.
The BharatFilings Advantage
Custom Agreement Drafting
Our legal experts draft a robust Supplementary Agreement that protects all partners and complies with the latest MCA regulations.
Stamp Duty Calculation
If your capital contribution changes, we calculate the exact state-specific stamp duty required to make the document legally binding.
Penalty-Free Filing
We guarantee filing of e-Form 3 with the ROC within the statutory 30-day window, preventing the ₹100/day late fee.
Mandatory MCA Rules for LLP Agreements
The LLP Agreement is the constitution of your firm. Any modification to it must follow Section 23 of the Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008.
1. Mutual Consent of Partners
Unlike companies that rely on board votes, changing the fundamental rules of an LLP requires consensus.
- A resolution must be passed by the partners authorizing the specific changes.
- All existing partners must typically sign the Supplementary Agreement.
2. Execution & Stamping
An agreement is not legally binding in India unless appropriate stamp duty has been paid to the state government.
- Must be printed on non-judicial stamp paper of appropriate value.
- If the capital contribution is increasing, additional stamp duty based on the state's Stamp Act is strictly applicable.
3. Crucial MCA Filing (Form 3)
The government must be officially notified of any changes to the partnership's constitution.
- Form 3 (Information with regard to LLP Agreement and changes) must be filed electronically.
- The signed and stamped Supplementary Agreement must be attached.
4. Strict Filing Deadlines
The LLP is legally bound to inform the ROC about the changes within a strict statutory timeframe.
- Form 3 must be filed within 30 days of the date of the resolution/execution of the agreement.
- Delay leads to an ongoing penalty of ₹100 per day per form under the LLP Act.
