What is the minimum number of partners for an LLP?

An LLP requires a minimum of 2 partners, of whom at least 2 must be Designated Partners under Section 7(1) of the LLP Act, 2008. At least one Designated Partner must be a resident Indian.

Is there a minimum capital requirement?

There is no statutory minimum contribution. The default at incorporation is ₹1 lakh, but the LLP Act permits a contribution as low as ₹1. Contribution may be in cash, kind, or intangible property; non-cash contribution above ₹5 lakh requires valuation report under Rule 16 of LLP Rules.

What is the difference between RUN-LLP and FiLLiP?

RUN-LLP reserves the proposed LLP name for ₹200 — valid for 3 months. FiLLiP is the incorporation form that includes name reservation, partner details, contribution, and linked AGILE-PRO-S for PAN/TAN/GSTIN/EPFO/ESIC/Bank.

Is the LLP Agreement compulsory?

Yes. Under Section 23(4) of the LLP Act, the agreement must be executed within 30 days of incorporation and filed in Form 3 with the Registrar. Late filing attracts ₹100 per day penalty.

What is the annual compliance for an LLP?

Form 11 (Annual Return) by 30 May, Form 8 (Statement of Accounts & Solvency) by 30 October, ITR-5 by 31 July/31 October, and DPIN KYC by 30 September. Tax audit under Section 44AB of Income-tax Act applies if turnover exceeds ₹1 crore.

Can a foreign national be a partner in an Indian LLP?

Yes. The foreign national must obtain a DPIN and provide an apostilled passport and address proof. If the foreign partner contributes capital, FDI reporting via Form FC-GPR (within 30 days of allotment) and FLA return by 15 July is mandatory.

What is the government fee for FiLLiP filing?

FiLLiP filing fee is ₹500 for contribution up to ₹1 lakh. For contribution up to ₹15 lakh, the SPICe+-style waiver applies — only the ₹200 RUN-LLP fee plus ₹50 Form 3 fee are charged; stamp duty on LLP Agreement is paid state-wise (typically ₹1,000).

Is the LLP subject to dividend distribution tax or surcharge?

LLPs are taxed as partnerships — profit is taxed at 30% (25% if turnover ≤ ₹400 crore under Section 115BAA not available to LLPs). No dividend distribution tax applies; partners' share of profit is exempt under Section 10(2A).

About this service

A Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) combines the operational flexibility of a traditional partnership firm with the limited liability benefits of a private company. Regulated under the LLP Act, 2008 and administered by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, an LLP is a distinct legal entity where no partner is personally liable for another partner's independent wrongful acts or omissions. The filing is processed via the FiLLiP e-form on the MCA V3 portal.

Common mistakes to avoid

Avoidable filing errors that cause delays or rejection. Each can be resolved before submission.

1
Mismatched applicant legal name or identity details across KYC proofs
Why: Government verification APIs cross-check with UIDAI and MCA databases and automatically flag discrepancies in spelling or dates.
Fix: Our specialists pre-validate your documents against official government databases before portal filing.
2
Submitting outdated utility bills or non-notarized commercial leases
Why: Premises proofs older than 60 days or defective landlord NOCs trigger statutory scrutiny queries and multi-week processing delays.
Fix: We verify recent billing dates and provide pre-formatted, legally vetted landlord NOC and lease formats.
3
Selecting incorrect classification, turnover slab, or statutory activity code
Why: Applications filed under inappropriate classifications attract show-cause notices and potential rejection without statutory fee refund.
Fix: We conduct a statutory scope assessment to align your application with the exact regulatory requirements.
