Registering a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) typically involves several steps and legal requirements.
Here’s an overview of the registration process:
Name Reservation: Choose a unique name for your LLP. Check availability and conformity with naming guidelines.
Documents Preparation:
Prepare the LLP Agreement outlining partners' rights, responsibilities, profit sharing, etc.
Prepare incorporation documents including Form 2 (Incorporation Document) and Form 3 (Details of LLP Partners).
Filing Forms: Submit Form 1 (Application for reservation or change of name) and other required forms to the Registrar of Companies (ROC).
Payment of Fees: Pay the prescribed registration fees based on the LLP's capital contribution.
Verification and Approval: The ROC will verify the documents and, if satisfied, will issue the Certificate of Incorporation.
LLP Agreement: Execute the LLP Agreement within 30 days of incorporation and file Form 3 with ROC.
PAN and TAN: Apply for Permanent Account Number (PAN) and Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number (TAN) after incorporation.
Compliance: Ensure compliance with annual filing requirements, such as filing of Annual Return (Form 11) and Statement of Account & Solvency (Form 8).
It’s advisable to consult with a legal professional or a company registration service provider to ensure all steps are followed correctly and efficiently. Each step involves specific legal requirements and timelines, which vary depending on the jurisdiction and the nature of the LLP.
