What is LLP Registration?
LLP registration is the official process of forming a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) in India. An LLP is a hybrid business structure that combines the benefits of both a partnership and a company, providing limited liability. This means the partners’ personal assets are protected from business debts, and the LLP exists as a separate legal entity from its partners.
Key Features of LLP Registration
- The LLP must have at least two partners, but there is no maximum limit on the number of partners.
- One of the partners must be an Indian resident (living in India for at least 182 days during the preceding financial year).
- The liability of the partners is limited to their agreed contribution to the LLP.
- The name of the LLP must include "Limited Liability Partnership" or the abbreviation "LLP."
- The LLP must be registered with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) under the LLP Act of 2008.
- LLPs must maintain proper books of accounts and file annual returns with the Registrar of Companies (RoC).
- LLPs are not required to hold annual general meetings (AGMs) or issue share certificates.
- LLPs cannot issue shares, as they do not have a share capital structure like a private or public limited company.

FAQs Related to LLP Registration
Two or more individuals or corporate bodies can form an LLP. At least two designated partners are required, and at least one must be a resident of India.
Yes, registration on the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) portal is mandatory for an LLP to be a legally valid entity.
A Partnership and a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) are both forms of business organizations involving two or more people, but they differ in key aspects:
- Liability: In a partnership, partners have unlimited liability, meaning they are personally responsible for the business’s debts. In an LLP, liability is limited to the extent of each partner's investment, and personal assets are protected.
- Legal Status: A partnership is not a separate legal entity—the firm and the partners are legally considered the same. An LLP is a separate legal entity, so it can own property, sue, or be sued in its own name.
- Formation and Regulation: A partnership is governed by the Partnership Act, 1932 (in India) and doesn’t require mandatory registration. An LLP must be registered with the government under the LLP Act, 2008 and follows stricter compliance rules.
- Management: In a partnership, all partners generally manage the business unless agreed otherwise. In an LLP, specific designated partners are responsible for management and legal compliance.
- Taxation: Both are taxed as firms, but in an LLP, there is no tax on profit sharing among partners and no dividend distribution tax, making it more tax-efficient in some cases.
- Limited liability protection for partners
- Separate legal entity status
- Flexibility in management
- Lower compliance requirements compared to the other
There is no maximum limit on the number of partners in a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) in India. The LLP Act, 2008, specifies that an LLP must have at least two partners, but it does not impose any upper cap on the total number of partners an LLP can have.
