Quick Answer

What is the minimum number of partners and designated partners required in Selaiyur, Chennai?

Section 6 of the LLP Act 2008 requires a minimum of two partners (no upper cap). Section 7 mandates at least two designated partners, both individuals, of whom at least one must be a resident in India — meaning a person who has stayed in India for not less than 120 days during the financial year (post-2022 amendment, earlier 182 days). Body corporate partners must nominate an individual as a designated partner. Failure to maintain the minimum for more than six months attracts unlimited liability on the sole continuing partner under Section 6(2).

Why FilingPro?

Why Selaiyur Clients Choose FilingPro

Expert LLP in Selaiyur — qualified professionals, 15+ years experience, zero-penalty track record.

Annual Filings Continuity

Once incorporated, LLPs need Form 11 by 30 May and Form 8 by 30 October each FY. FilingPro calendars both with 60-day advance reminders and document collection schedules — Selaiyur clients never face a Section 69 default.

Rule 24(8) Audit Threshold Tracked

Audit obligation under the LLP Rules triggers only above ₹25 lakh contribution or ₹40 lakh turnover. We track both monthly for Selaiyur clients so the auditor is appointed on time and Form 8 is certified correctly under Section 34(4).

Section 47(xiiib) Conversion Path Preserved

Where a Selaiyur private company is contemplating conversion into LLP, we structure the LLP turnover, asset and shareholder profile to remain within the Section 47(xiiib) IT Act conditions — protecting the capital gains exemption window.

Section 40(b) Remuneration Structured

The LLP Agreement is drafted with explicit Section 40(b) IT Act language — working partner remuneration formula, 12% interest on capital ceiling and book-profit linked computation — so deduction is preserved at LLP level and Section 28(v) taxation is clean at partner level.

Tax-Book-Grade Documentation

Every Selaiyur LLP file we maintain holds the FiLLiP, DPIN evidence, stamped LLP Agreement, Form 3 challan, Form 16 (Certificate of Incorporation), PAN/TAN, GST and MSME certificates, statutory registers and signed Form 9 consents — ready for any audit, FEMA review or NCLT proceeding.

LLP Practice Since The 2009 Notification

Our LLP filings stretch back to the early years following the 2009 notification of the LLP Act 2008. Familiarity with the FiLLiP form's evolution, Central Registration Centre review patterns, and Form 3 stamping practice across States gives our incorporation pack the precision that a newer practice cannot offer.

Key Benefits

What Selaiyur Clients Get

Every LLP Registration engagement delivers measurable, guaranteed outcomes — expert professionals, on time, every time.

Audit Triggered Only Above Defined Thresholds
Rule 24(8) confines the audit requirement to LLPs that breach either a contribution ceiling of twenty-five lakh or revenue exceeding forty lakh in the year. Modest-revenue and early-stage LLPs run without statutory audit cost — typically a saving north of fifty thousand rupees annually when set against an equivalent corporate structure.
Profit Distribution Without Dividend Tax
After the LLP has paid its tax, the share allocated to each partner falls within the Section 10(2A) exemption — partner-level tax is nil on that receipt. DDT does not apply, buy-back tax does not arise, and no shareholder-level levy attaches to the distribution. For closely held ventures this single-layer treatment materially uplifts owner take-home relative to the corporate alternative.
Capital Contribution In Cash Or Kind
The LLP Act expressly allows capital contribution in cash, tangible property, intangible property, services rendered or to be rendered, or any benefit received. There is no statutory minimum capital. Contribution structures can therefore be tailored to the partners' actual resources and the business's actual needs rather than meeting an artificial floor.
Perpetual Succession Across Partner Changes
Unlike a partnership firm where partner death or retirement can trigger dissolution under the 1932 Act unless the deed says otherwise, Section 14 of the LLP Act guarantees that the LLP continues regardless of partner exit. Contracts, leases, bank mandates and licences carry through unaffected.
Foreign Direct Investment On Automatic Route
FEMA NDI Rules 2019 Schedule VI permits FDI in LLPs up to one hundred per cent under the automatic route in sectors where FDI is allowed without performance conditions. RBI prior approval is not required, only the FC reporting filings. Indian-foreign partner structures commission rapidly compared to government-route alternatives.
Exit Through Form 24 Strike-Off
Where the LLP has not commenced operations or has ceased operations for at least one year, Form 24 with the prescribed affidavits and indemnity allows striking off under Rule 37. The exit is materially simpler than the winding-up procedures applicable to companies, reducing the cost of an LLP's failure scenario.

LLP Registration in Selaiyur, Chennai 600073

Because PIN 600073 sits inside the Chennai South jurisdiction, the handling office for Selaiyur stays consistent across years, which matters when filings or approvals span cycles. Records we prepare for Selaiyur carry the geo-zone 600xx tag and coordinates 12.9181, 80.1444, which map each submission back to this locality. Selaiyur is a south Chennai residential and education pocket anchored by St Joseph's College of Engineering and the Tambaram Cantonment. Statutory correspondence for Selaiyur businesses routes through the Tambaram Division, so we align every LLP Registration engagement to that jurisdiction from the start.

Working in Selaiyur brings a logistical edge: proximity to Tambaram Cantonment and the Selaiyur Bus Stop corridor keeps physical document handling fast. Selaiyur reads as a residential education pocket pocket with medium commercial activity, anchored around Tambaram Cantonment and fed by the Selaiyur Bus Stop corridor. Freight and foot traffic from the Selaiyur Bus Stop hub pull steady daily commerce through Selaiyur, so there is rarely a quiet filing month in this residential education pocket pocket. Document pickup near Tambaram Cantonment is a same-hour errand for our Selaiyur engagements rather than the half-day a typical Chennai client expects.

LLP Registration for retail businesses in Selaiyur hinges on getting the sector's recurring entries right the first time. For a retail business in Selaiyur, the LLP Registration scope is rarely generic; we tailor the checklist to how that sector actually transacts. We have closed enough LLP Registration files for retail firms near Selaiyur to know where the department usually probes. retail units around Selaiyur share recurring LLP patterns — input-credit timing, vendor reconciliation, and sector-specific documentation.

From the first LLP Registration cycle, a Selaiyur engagement is set up to be audit-ready rather than reconstructed under pressure later. The qualified-review step on every Selaiyur LLP file is where errors get caught before they reach the portal. Turnaround for Selaiyur LLP Registration is deterministic — fixed fee, a scoped timeline, and a same-business-day acknowledgement once filed. Our Selaiyur LLP process is built to be predictable, documented, and on time, cycle after cycle.

Coverage from Selaiyur naturally extends to Madambakkam, so group entities across the area share one LLP Registration workflow. Group companies spread across Selaiyur and Madambakkam consolidate their LLP under one engagement with us. From the same Selaiyur team we also serve Madambakkam and other nearby localities without re-onboarding clients. LLP Registration clients in Madambakkam are handled by the same practitioners who run our Selaiyur desk.

Because we work repeatedly across Selaiyur, we can benchmark a new client's LLP Registration position against the locality norm. The LLP Registration mistakes we see most in Selaiyur are avoidable with disciplined intake, which our checklist enforces. Each engagement in Selaiyur adds to a record of what the Chennai South jurisdiction expects, sharpening the next LLP file. Over several cycles in Selaiyur, the recurring LLP Registration issues cluster around a predictable short list we screen for early.

For a new business incorporating in Selaiyur or shifting its principal place of business here, LLP Registration setup is one of the first things to get right. Relocating a registered office into Selaiyur (PIN 600073) changes the assessing division, and we handle that LLP Registration transition cleanly. Incorporating in Selaiyur comes with jurisdiction, registration and LLP steps that we sequence so nothing stalls the launch. When a Tambaram business expands into Selaiyur, we extend its LLP setup to PIN 600073 without disruption.

People Also Ask — LLP in Selaiyur
How long does LLP registration take in Chennai?
Clean FiLLiP filings are typically approved within 7 to 15 working days — name reservation under RUN-LLP in 1 to 3 working days, FiLLiP scrutiny by the Central Registration Centre within 5 to 10 working days. The Certificate of Incorporation under Section 12 issues in Form 16 along with PAN and TAN. Form 3 (LLP Agreement) is then filed within 30 days of incorporation.
What is the minimum cost of LLP registration in Tamil Nadu?
Statutory cost depends on contribution — MCA fee on FiLLiP starts at ₹500 (contribution up to ₹1 lakh), Tamil Nadu stamp duty on the LLP Agreement starts at ₹500 under Article 40, and DSC class-3 for two designated partners is around ₹2,000-₹3,000. Add professional fees for FiLLiP drafting, custom LLP Agreement and Form 3 filing — FilingPro packages start at ₹6,500 inclusive of two DPINs.
Can a single person form an LLP?
No. Section 6 of the LLP Act 2008 mandates a minimum of two partners and Section 7 mandates a minimum of two designated partners (both individuals, with at least one resident in India). A single person seeking limited liability with sole control should consider an OPC (One Person Company) under Section 2(62) of the Companies Act 2013 instead. If LLP partners reduce below two for more than six months, the sole continuing partner attracts unlimited liability under Section 6(2).
Is a separate office required or can the registered office be a residence?
Under Section 13 of the LLP Act 2008, the registered office can be any premises (residential or commercial) so long as proof of address is filed and the premises is accessible for communication. For a residential premises, the rent agreement (if rented) and NOC from the owner along with a recent EB bill (under two months) are filed. Books of account under Section 34 must be maintainable at the registered office.
What is the difference in compliance burden between LLP and private limited company?
LLP compliance is materially lighter — only Form 11 (Annual Return by 30 May) and Form 8 (Statement of Account & Solvency by 30 October) are mandatory, with audit triggered only above ₹25 lakh contribution or ₹40 lakh turnover under Rule 24(8). A private limited company files MGT-7, AOC-4, DIR-3 KYC, DPT-3 and is subject to mandatory audit irrespective of turnover. LLP also has no DDT, no buy-back tax and partner profit share is exempt under Section 10(2A) of the IT Act.
What if Form 3 is not filed within 30 days?
Section 69 of the LLP Act 2008 imposes additional fee of ₹100 per day with no upper cap until Form 3 is actually filed (capped at ₹1,000 for Small LLPs under the 2022 amendment). For an LLP that delays Form 3 by say 200 days, the additional fee is ₹20,000 — often more than the entire incorporation cost. Schedule I default provisions also continue to apply during the gap, which may distort profit-sharing if not aligned with partner intent.
Should I choose LLP or OPC for a single-founder business in Chennai?

If you intend to remain single-founder, choose an OPC under Section 2(62) of the Companies Act 2013. If you have a co-founder or plan to onboard one, an LLP under Section 6 of the LLP Act 2008 offers lower compliance cost and flexibility.

What is an LLP under the LLP Act 2008?

An LLP is a body corporate with perpetual succession and limited partner liability registered under Section 3 of the Limited Liability Partnership Act 2008. It combines partnership flexibility with company-like separate-legal-entity status under Indian law.

How many partners are required to form an LLP?

Section 6 of the LLP Act 2008 requires a minimum of two partners with at least two designated partners — of whom one must be resident in India under Section 7(1) and the proviso to Section 7(2).

Is there a minimum capital requirement for LLP registration?

No, the LLP Act 2008 does not prescribe a minimum capital contribution. Contribution may be in cash, property, services or intangibles under Section 32 and must be valued and reported in Form 3 per Rule 23.

What is the LLP registration fee?

The MCA government fee depends on contribution slab — ₹500 up to ₹1 lakh and graduated thereafter under Annexure A of LLP Rules 2009. Professional fees vary. FilingProChennai charges ₹6,500 one-time end-to-end.

What is FiLLiP form for LLP registration?

FiLLiP is the integrated incorporation form prescribed under Rule 16 of LLP Rules 2009 that combines name reservation, DIN allotment, and LLP incorporation into a single application filed with the Central Registration Centre under MCA.

What is an LLP and the policy origin of the LLP Act 2008

Statutory definition under Section 3 of the LLP Act 2008

A Limited Liability Partnership in India is a body corporate formed and incorporated under the Limited Liability Partnership Act 2008, possessing a legal entity separate from that of its partners under Section 3(1) and perpetual succession under Section 3(2). The form was introduced after recommendations from the Naresh Chandra Committee on Regulation of Private Companies and Partnerships in 2003 and the J.J. Irani Committee on Company Law in 2005, both of which observed that India needed a hybrid vehicle combining the operational flexibility of a partnership with the limited-liability protection of a company. Section 4 of the Act expressly disapplies the Indian Partnership Act 1932 to an LLP, marking the LLP as a distinct juridical category. The LLP form was modelled substantially on the United Kingdom Limited Liability Partnerships Act 2000, though India's version diverges materially on the tax-transparency question — the Indian LLP is a separate taxable entity under Section 2(23)(i) of the Income-tax Act 1961, not a pass-through vehicle.

Comparative framework against Pvt Ltd, Partnership and OPC

An LLP differs from a Private Limited Company in four structural respects: there is no minimum capital requirement under the LLP Act whereas Companies Act Section 2(68) prescribes minimum-paid-up-capital flexibility only post-2015 amendment; LLP governance is by contract under the LLP Agreement filed in Form 3 rather than by statutory MOA-AOA; an LLP has no statutory equivalent of Section 96 AGMs or Section 173 board meetings; and an LLP cannot issue equity to outside investors absent admission as a partner. Compared to the Indian Partnership Act 1932 firm, the LLP provides limited liability under Section 26 — partners are not personally liable for the LLP's obligations save for their own wrongful acts under Section 27 — whereas Section 25 of the Partnership Act imposes joint-and-several liability. Compared to a One Person Company under Companies Act Section 2(62), the LLP requires a minimum of two partners under Section 6 and does not have the OPC's nominee-director architecture.

International benchmarks and OECD considerations

The LLP Act 2008 was drafted with explicit reference to the United Kingdom's Limited Liability Partnerships Act 2000, the United States Uniform Limited Liability Company Act (which adopts the LLC nomenclature for a similar economic vehicle), and the Singapore Limited Liability Partnerships Act 2005. The OECD Corporate Governance Factbook records that hybrid vehicles of this kind have proliferated across jurisdictions to support professional-services firms and small-to-medium enterprises. The World Bank's earlier Doing Business indicators ranked India's company-incorporation procedures critically, prompting the Ministry of Corporate Affairs to consolidate ease-of-doing-business reforms — including the MCA21 v3 platform and the FiLLiP integrated form — which have reduced LLP incorporation timelines from several weeks under the original LLP-Form-1 architecture to a target of three to five working days under the present FiLLiP regime.

The LLP Act 2008 contains no explicit prohibition on a partner's relative being the LLP's auditor, in contrast with Companies Act Section 141 disqualifications. However, the ICAI Code of Ethics and the Chartered Accountants Act 1949 impose independence requirements on the audit engagement, prohibiting audit by a chartered accountant who is a relative of, or has a financial interest in, the LLP under audit. Partner-related-party transactions are not subject to a Section-188-equivalent regime under the LLP Act, but must be disclosed in the financial statements under applicable accounting standards (Accounting Standard 18 or Ind AS 24). Tax-deductibility of related-party expenditure may attract Section 40A(2)(b) scrutiny under the Income-tax Act.

Statutory audit threshold under LLP Rules 2009

Rule 24(8) of the LLP Rules 2009 requires every LLP to have its accounts audited by a chartered accountant in practice, where the LLP's turnover exceeds forty lakhs in any financial year or where the contribution exceeds twenty-five lakhs. The audit must be conducted in accordance with the auditing standards issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, including SA 200 series. The audit report is filed with Form 8 within the prescribed timeline. Small LLPs falling below both thresholds are exempt from statutory audit but must still maintain books of accounts under Section 34 of the LLP Act on a cash or accrual basis as the LLP Agreement specifies. The small-LLP definition introduced by the 2021 amendment aligns the audit and Section-76A penalty carve-outs.

Tax audit and audit-report harmonisation

Where Section 44AB tax audit applies to the LLP — one-crore business turnover or fifty-lakh professional gross receipts (or the higher digital-thresholds under the third proviso) — the tax-audit report in Form 3CD must be filed by thirtieth September of the assessment year. Where the LLP is also subject to LLP-Rule-24(8) statutory audit, both audits may be conducted by the same chartered accountant for efficiency, with separate report formats — Form 3CA-3CD for the income-tax audit and the LLP statutory-audit report for the LLP Act audit. The chartered accountant must observe independence requirements under the ICAI Code of Ethics and the Companies (Auditor's Report) Order does not apply since CARO is restricted to companies.

Conversion to LLP from other forms

Unlisted-public to LLP and tax conditions

Section 57 of the LLP Act 2008 read with the Fourth Schedule provides conversion of an unlisted public company into an LLP. Listed companies cannot be directly converted to an LLP, since LLPs cannot issue listed securities and the conversion would extinguish public shareholders' tradeable interests. The income-tax conversion exemption under Section 47(xiiib) imposes stringent conditions specific to company-to-LLP conversion: total turnover not exceeding sixty lakhs in any of the three preceding years; total assets not exceeding five crore; no change in partner profit-share for five years; aggregate profits credited not exceeding five-lakh in three preceding years; and continuation of partners as shareholders for five years. Breach during the lock-in period triggers tax retrospectively under Section 47A.

Stamp duty and ancillary registrations on conversion

Conversion to an LLP triggers stamp-duty exposure under the relevant State stamp law; in Tamil Nadu and most States, conveyance-deed-equivalent duty would apply to the immovable-property transfer if conversion were treated as a sale, but most State stamp authorities accept the statutory vesting under the LLP Act schedules as not constituting a conveyance for stamp-duty purposes, with concessional rates or exemptions. Ancillary registrations — GST, EPF, ESI, Profession Tax, Shops and Establishments, FSSAI, BIS, Drug Licence and others — frequently require formal modification or fresh registration in the LLP's name, since the underlying licensee identity changes from the firm or company to the LLP. Practitioners should map every regulatory licence at the planning stage to sequence the conversion correctly.

Partnership-firm to LLP conversion under Section 55 and Second Schedule

Section 55 of the LLP Act 2008 read with the Second Schedule provides the mechanism for conversion of a partnership firm registered under the Indian Partnership Act 1932 into an LLP. The application is filed in Form 17 along with FiLLiP, with a statement of consent from all partners of the partnership firm, a statement of assets and liabilities, an undertaking that all the partners of the firm will become partners of the LLP, and details of property and licences requiring transfer. On conversion, all property, assets, interests, rights, privileges, liabilities, obligations and undertakings of the firm vest in the LLP without further assurance; pending proceedings continue against the LLP; and the Registrar of Firms is notified of the conversion. The Section 47(xiiib) tax exemption operates in parallel.

Foreign LLP partners and FDI compliance

Form FDI-LLP(I) reporting and FIRPS module

Inward capital contribution by a foreign partner must be reported in Form FDI-LLP(I) within thirty days of receipt through the AD-Category I bank using the Foreign Investment Reporting and Management System on the RBI FIRMS portal. The form captures the foreign partner's name, country of residence, capital contribution in foreign currency and INR equivalent at the FIRC rate, valuation methodology (typically book value or DCF valuation), and the LLP's permitted business under the LLP Agreement. The AD-Category I bank scrutinises the documentation and issues a Unique Identification Number on the FIRMS portal. Delay in filing attracts late-submission-fee under the FEMA framework, payable to the AD-Category I bank, and may attract compounding under FEMA Section 13 in extreme cases.

Transfer of partnership interest between residents and non-residents

Transfer of partnership interest in an Indian LLP between a resident and a non-resident is reported in Form FDI-LLP(II) within sixty days of the transfer through the AD-Category I bank on the FIRMS portal. The transfer pricing must comply with valuation norms issued by the RBI — typically book value or internationally accepted valuation methodology certified by a chartered accountant or merchant banker registered with SEBI. Outbound transfers (resident transferring to non-resident) and inbound transfers (non-resident transferring to resident) are both reportable, though the documentation and tax-withholding implications differ. Capital-gains tax under Section 9B and Section 45(4) of the Income-tax Act 1961 may apply on the resident-partner side, with TDS under Section 195 where the buyer is non-resident.

Downstream investment by LLP into Indian companies

Where an Indian LLP with foreign partner participation makes downstream investment into an Indian company, the downstream investment is itself subject to FEMA Schedule VI paragraph 3 disclosure and the indirect-foreign-investment framework under the NDI Rules 2019. Downstream investment requires Board-level approval, AD-Category I bank intimation, and reporting in the prescribed downstream-investment-reporting form within thirty days. The investee Indian company's compliance with its sectoral FDI conditions is computed including the indirect foreign holding via the LLP, which may push the investee company over its applicable sectoral cap. Practitioners must compute indirect foreign investment carefully, applying the Reserve Bank's clarifications on calculation methodology, especially for layered holding structures.

Glossary

Plain-English glossary for this service

Additional Fee

Additional Fee is the levy of ₹100 per day, with no upper ceiling, prescribed under Section 69 of the LLP Act on every form filed beyond the prescribed due date. The provision applies to Form 3, Form 8, Form 11 and most other event-based filings under the LLP Rules.

LLP Settlement Scheme 2020

LLP Settlement Scheme 2020 was a one-time amnesty notified by MCA permitting defaulting LLPs to file overdue forms with a capped additional fee. The scheme covered Form 3, Form 4, Form 8 and Form 11 and granted immunity from prosecution for the defaults regularised within the scheme window.

Foreign LLP

Foreign LLP is an LLP formed outside India that establishes a place of business in India. Section 59 read with the LLP (Winding up and Dissolution) Rules requires it to file Form 27 within thirty days, disclosing its incorporation document and authorised representative.

Authorised Representative

Authorised Representative is the individual resident in India nominated by a foreign LLP or a body corporate partner to accept service of process and notices on its behalf. The appointment is recorded in the relevant form filed with the Registrar and continues until expressly revoked.

Section 89

Section 89 of the Companies Act 2013 requires the registered holder and the beneficial owner of any shares or interest to disclose the beneficial interest. The framework has been adapted to LLPs through the MCA notification on significant beneficial owners and applies to contribution held in trust.

Section 187

Section 187 of the Companies Act 2013, read with the LLP framework, requires investments to be held in the name of the company or LLP itself, save in specified exceptions. The provision ensures that beneficial ownership is transparently recorded and discourages benami arrangements.

MCA Notification of FiLLiP

MCA Notification of FiLLiP refers to the Limited Liability Partnership (Second Amendment) Rules 2018 dated 18 September 2018, which introduced the FiLLiP form and replaced the earlier Form 1 and Form 2. The amendment also integrated DIN allotment for up to two designated partners.

FiLLiP

Form for Incorporation of Limited Liability Partnership — the single integrated MCA form used to incorporate an LLP, reserve the name, and allot DPIN to up to five designated partners in one submission. It replaced the older Form 1 + Form 2 process and is the entry-point form for any new LLP registration in India.

DPIN

Designated Partner Identification Number — a unique 8-digit number allotted by MCA to any individual who is or intends to be a designated partner in an LLP. The DPIN is permanent for the individual across all LLPs and is functionally equivalent to a DIN held by a company director. Each designated partner must have a valid DPIN before signing LLP filings.

LLP Agreement

The written contract between the partners of an LLP and between the LLP and its partners, governing rights, duties, profit sharing, capital contribution, and admission or retirement of partners. It must be executed on stamp paper as per the State Stamp Schedule (Tamil Nadu: Article 40) and filed in Form 3 within 30 days of incorporation under Section 23 of the LLP Act 2008.

Form 3

The MCA form used to file the LLP Agreement and any subsequent changes to it. Must be filed within 30 days of incorporation for the initial agreement, and within 30 days of any amendment thereafter. Delay attracts additional fee of ₹100 per day with no upper cap, making it one of the most expensive filing delays in the LLP regime.

Form 4

The MCA form for notifying any change in the partners or designated partners of an LLP — admission, retirement, or change in designation. Must be filed within 30 days of the change. Form 4 is typically filed together with Form 3 because every partner change requires the LLP Agreement to be amended.

By Industry

Industry-specific patterns in Selaiyur

How the local trade mix shapes this — Selaiyur businesses operate where the business activity radiating outward from St Joseph's College of Engineering and nearby commercial pockets.

Healthcare
Common issue: Healthcare LLPs operating diagnostic or single-specialty clinics often fail to harmonise the LLP Agreement with the Clinical Establishments (Registration and Regulation) Act 2010 and the relevant State Medical Council rules on professional-entity ownership. Some State councils prohibit non-medical designated partners from holding majority economic interest.
How we handle it: Verify the State medical-council position on LLP ownership before incorporation; structure designated-partner allocations to comply with majority-medical-partner rules where applicable; cross-reference Clinical Establishments Act registration with the LLP Agreement's permitted-business clause to avoid Section 7 disqualification risk.
Healthcare
Common issue: Pharmaceutical and medical-device distribution LLPs sometimes miss the Drugs and Cosmetics Act licensing obligations that survive incorporation. Wholesale and retail drug licences are personal to the licensee and require formal transfer or fresh issuance upon change of constitution from partnership to LLP under Section 55.
How we handle it: Sequence drug-licence transfer applications concurrently with the Section 55 partnership-to-LLP conversion; obtain prior approval from the State Drugs Controller; ensure the LLP's permitted business under the LLP Agreement explicitly covers pharmaceutical wholesale and retail, and maintain GST registration continuity across conversion.
Education
Common issue: Educational-services LLPs delivering coaching and skill-development services often misunderstand that formal education leading to a recognised qualification cannot be delivered through an LLP, since affiliating bodies — universities, AICTE, NCTE, UGC — recognise only trusts, societies or Section 8 companies as sponsoring entities.
How we handle it: Restrict the LLP's permitted business to coaching, test preparation, vocational training and corporate learning; route any university-affiliated programme through a Section 8 company or registered society; ensure that GST Notification 12/2017 exemption analysis under entry sixty-six is applied correctly to the LLP's coaching services.
Education
Common issue: EdTech LLPs with content-licensing arrangements often blur the line between royalty income taxable under Section 9(1)(vi) and business income under Section 28. The interplay with the LLP partner-share tax regime under Section 10(2A) — exemption of partner's share of LLP income — invites scrutiny when the LLP is loss-making yet partners report exempt share-of-loss adjustments.
How we handle it: Document the content-licensing arrangement in a standalone IP licence rather than within the LLP Agreement; characterise the income consistently in books and tax returns; apply Section 10(2A) exemption only on the share of LLP's taxable profit, not on imputed amounts; retain transfer-pricing documentation if any partner is non-resident.
IT Services
Common issue: Cross-border IT-services LLPs underestimate FEMA Schedule VI of the NDI Rules 2019, which permits foreign direct investment in LLPs only in sectors where one-hundred-percent FDI is allowed under the automatic route and where no FDI-linked performance conditions apply. Designated-partner consents and Form FDI-LLP(I) timing post-incorporation are frequently missed at the FiLLiP stage.
How we handle it: Pre-clear the FDI eligibility check before filing FiLLiP; ensure the LLP Agreement mirrors Schedule VI restrictions; file Form FDI-LLP(I) within thirty days of receipt of consideration and FC-GPR-equivalent reporting through the AD-Category I bank. Maintain the FIRC trail and confirm KYC of the foreign designated partner under Section 7(1).
Case Studies

Anonymised engagements we have handled

Real client situations (names changed); illustrative of the kind of work we do.

Partner changeHealthcare

Partner-induction Form 4 filed within 30 days saving disqualification exposure

Issue: A healthcare-services LLP inducted a third partner contributing ₹8 lakh. Form 4 for change in partners and Form 3 amendment for revised LLP Agreement must be filed within 30 days of the change under Sections 25(2) and 23(3) of the LLP Act. The internal consultant missed the deadline by reading the 30 days as 60 days, triggering ₹100 per day continuing additional fee.
Approach: We caught the delay on day 34, executed a supplementary LLP Agreement on appropriate stamp paper with the inducted partner's particulars, prepared the consent letter and PAN-Aadhaar copies, computed the four-day delay fee at ₹400 in Form 4 and ₹400 in Form 3, and filed both in the correct chronological order to avoid CRC rejection on inconsistent partner registers.
Outcome: Forms approved within 6 working days; total additional fee ₹800; new partner's profit-share validly recognised for the financial year preserving ₹1.2 lakh deductible remuneration claim.
CompoundingEducation

Composition of offences under Section 39 with two-stage representation

Issue: An education-services LLP received an MCA show-cause notice for late filing of Form 11 for two years and failure to maintain books of account at the registered office under Section 34. The notice contemplated prosecution under Section 74 with fines up to ₹5 lakh per partner. The LLP sought an exit from prosecution through composition.
Approach: We filed a compounding application under Section 39 of the LLP Act 2008 before the Regional Director Southern Region, annexed the now-cured Form 11 filings, a books-rebuilding statement-of-facts narrating the cause of the default, an affidavit of voluntary disclosure, and offered the maximum prescribed compounding fee. We cited Suncraft Energy procedural-fairness principles to ensure the RD heard us before any prosecution reference.
Outcome: Composition allowed at ₹40,000 per partner per offence against the ₹5 lakh maximum; prosecution dropped; LLP cleared of past defaults and continued operations.
Section 40(b)Healthcare

LLP partner remuneration shifted to interest-on-capital for Section 40(b) optimisation

Issue: A healthcare LLP partner sought additional payments beyond the Section 40(b) remuneration ceiling. Section 40(b)(iv) permits interest on capital at up to 12% per annum which is deductible to the LLP and taxable in the partner's hands as business income — but only where the LLP Agreement specifically authorises such payment with quantification.
Approach: We re-drafted the LLP Agreement to introduce a 12% interest-on-capital clause precisely worded to satisfy Section 40(b)(iv), restructured the partner's capital contribution to absorb the additional payments as interest, filed Form 3 amendment within 30 days of the supplementary agreement, and updated the LLP's books to record the interest accrual on monthly basis with supporting accounting entries.
Outcome: Interest on capital ₹3.6 lakh per annum allowed as deduction; effectively increased partner cash-flow within deductible bracket; Section 40(b) ceiling preserved for remuneration; ₹1.1 lakh annual tax saving locked in.
Voluntary winding-upRetail

LLP dissolution under Section 63 — voluntary winding-up before NCLT

Issue: A retail LLP with no continuing operations sought voluntary dissolution. Strike-off under Form 24 was not available because the LLP had unpaid creditors. Voluntary winding-up under Section 63 of the LLP Act 2008 read with the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (Voluntary Liquidation) Regulations 2017 was the only available route requiring NCLT supervision.
Approach: We obtained a declaration of solvency from a majority of designated partners supported by audited statements and an asset-realisation plan, called a meeting of partners passing the requisite three-fourths special resolution under Section 64, appointed an IBBI-registered liquidator from the partners' panel, published Form A advertisement, settled all creditor claims in priority order, and filed Form B final report with NCLT.
Outcome: NCLT order of dissolution within 11 months; all creditors paid 100%; ₹4 lakh surplus distributed to partners; LLP dissolved cleanly without strike-off rejection or post-dissolution liability exposure.

Common Questions

LLP FAQ — Selaiyur

Common questions from Selaiyur clients. Call 9566-068-468 for specific queries.

Section 6 of the LLP Act 2008 requires a minimum of two partners (no upper cap). Section 7 mandates at least two designated partners, both individuals, of whom at least one must be a resident in India — meaning a person who has stayed in India for not less than 120 days during the financial year (post-2022 amendment, earlier 182 days). Body corporate partners must nominate an individual as a designated partner. Failure to maintain the minimum for more than six months attracts unlimited liability on the sole continuing partner under Section 6(2).
With clean documentation, FiLLiP is usually approved within 7 to 15 working days of submission. The breakup is — name reservation under RUN-LLP within 1 to 3 working days, FiLLiP scrutiny by the Central Registration Centre within 5 to 10 working days, query resolution (if any) within the resubmission window of 15 days. The Certificate of Incorporation under Section 12 is issued in Form 16 along with PAN and TAN. Form 3 (LLP Agreement) must then be filed within 30 days of incorporation to complete the regulatory cycle.
Yes, we regularly take over part-completed LLP Registration work. Share what has been done so far on WhatsApp 9566-068-468 and we will review it, point out anything that needs correcting, and continue from where you are.
An LLP is governed by the LLP Act 2008 whereas a company is governed by the Companies Act 2013 and a firm by the Indian Partnership Act 1932. An LLP has perpetual succession (a firm does not), partners are not agents of one another under Section 36 (firm partners are mutual agents under Section 18 of the 1932 Act), there is no minimum capital requirement, no DDT or buy-back tax, profit share is exempt for partners under Section 10(2A) of the IT Act and audit is required only above ₹40 lakh turnover or ₹25 lakh contribution under Rule 24 of the LLP Rules 2009 — making it lighter than a company while preserving limited liability.
Form 11 is the Annual Return of an LLP prescribed under Section 35 read with Rule 25 of the LLP Rules 2009. It captures details of partners and contribution as on 31 March of the financial year. The due date is 30 May of the immediately following financial year — for FY 2025-26, Form 11 is due by 30 May 2026. Late filing attracts ₹100 per day additional fee under Section 69 with no cap. Form 11 must be certified by a designated partner and, where contribution exceeds ₹50 lakh or turnover exceeds ₹5 crore, by a practising Company Secretary.
Your engagement is handled by our in-house team led by Ravivarman R (Founder, 15+ years, 500+ engagements), with M. E. Chokkalingam on compliance and S. Jayaprakash on GST matters. You deal with named, qualified people throughout your LLP Registration — not a call centre.
Form 3 is the e-form prescribed under Rule 21 of the LLP Rules 2009 for filing the LLP Agreement (and any subsequent change to it) with the Registrar. The original LLP Agreement must be filed in Form 3 within 30 days of incorporation as per Section 23(2). Late filing attracts additional fee of ₹100 per day under Section 69 of the LLP Act 2008 with no upper cap, making Form 3 one of the most costly LLP defaults to ignore. Any change in the LLP Agreement is also filed in Form 3 within 30 days of the change.
FiLLiP — the integrated web form prescribed by Rule 11 of the 2009 rules (as amended over the years) — bundles several distinct steps into a single application. Coverage extends to name reservation under Rule 18, the incorporation document under Section 11, designated partner consents in Form 9, registered office particulars, partner contribution declarations, and DPIN allotment for up to five appointees as prescribed by Rule 10. PAN and TAN sit within the same form. Filing fees move with contribution slabs. After Central Registration Centre review, Form 16 issues under Section 12 with PAN and TAN — typically inside the seven-to-fifteen working day window when submission is clean.
Our LLP fees are fixed and shared in writing before any work starts — no hourly billing and no surprises. Pricing depends on the complexity of your case, not your location, so Selaiyur clients pay the same transparent rates as everyone else. See the pricing section above or call 9566-068-468 for an exact figure.
Two routes are open. Where the LLP either never began trading or has been inactive for one year or more, Rule 37 supports a Form 24 strike-off — the application carries consent of all partners, an indemnity bond, a CA-certified statement of assets and liabilities, and proof of the latest income-tax return. The Registrar issues a public notice and, after the objection period closes, removes the name from the register. Substantial-asset or substantial-liability LLPs need voluntary winding up under Section 64 through a liquidator. Insolvent LLPs are channelled into the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code 2016 framework instead.
Under Rule 24(8) of the LLP Rules 2009, audit of accounts is mandatory only where contribution exceeds ₹25 lakh or turnover exceeds ₹40 lakh in the financial year. LLPs below both thresholds are not required to get accounts audited under the LLP Act, although Section 44AB of the Income-tax Act 1961 will independently apply once business turnover crosses ₹1 crore (or ₹10 crore where digital receipts and payments are 95% or more) or professional receipts cross ₹50 lakh.
Yes. Every LLP Registration engagement comes with a GST invoice and copies of all filings, acknowledgements and challans for your records. Selaiyur clients receive a clean, documented trail they can rely on later.
Yes. Foreign nationals and NRIs may become partners and designated partners of an Indian LLP, subject to FEMA requirements. FDI in LLP is permitted under the automatic route up to 100% in sectors where 100% FDI under automatic route is allowed and there are no FDI-linked performance conditions, as per Schedule VI of FEM (Non-Debt Instruments) Rules 2019 read with the FEMA Master Direction on FDI. Downstream investment by FDI-funded LLPs is also permitted on the automatic route. Foreign individual partners must apostille/notarise their identity and address documents in their country of residence and at least one designated partner must be resident in India.
The FEMA NDI Rules of 2019 set the framework. Schedule VI opens the automatic route for FDI of up to one hundred per cent in sectors permitting full FDI on automatic route without performance riders attached. Sectors falling outside that perimeter require Government approval before money is received. Foreign partners route their contribution through ordinary banking channels, with Form FDI-LLP-I lodged to RBI inside thirty days of receipt and Form FDI-LLP-II accompanying any transfer between resident and non-resident partners. A resident designated partner under Section 7 must stay on the rolls throughout the LLP's life.
Yes. Under Section 23(4), in the absence of an LLP Agreement on any matter, the mutual rights and duties of the partners and of the LLP are determined by the provisions of Schedule I. Schedule I inter alia provides for equal profit sharing irrespective of contribution, no remuneration to partners, no interest on contribution, decisions by majority with each partner having one vote, and unanimous consent for admission of new partners — provisions which are rarely commercially desirable, making a custom LLP Agreement essential.
An LLP cannot issue securities such as shares or debentures since the concept of share capital does not apply — Section 32 contemplates contribution and not share capital. An LLP may borrow from banks, financial institutions, partners and certain permitted lenders, but acceptance of deposits from the public is not contemplated under the LLP framework and would attract concerns under the Banning of Unregulated Deposit Schemes Act 2019 if structured as a deposit-taking activity.

Our LLP clients in Selaiyur are spread right across the locality — along IAF Road, Kamaraj Street, Madambakkam Road, Maraimalai Adigal Street and Pamban Swamigal Salai, and through the V.O.C.
