Why FilingPro?

Why Sholinganallur Clients Choose FilingPro

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

Section 40(b) Remuneration Drafted Into Agreement

The agreement carries express Section 40(b) language with the slab-linked working partner remuneration formula and twelve per cent interest on capital. Income-tax disallowance for excess remuneration or vague drafting, a common assessment exposure, does not arise on our agreements.

Annual Filings Calendar With Buffer Days

The Form 11 deadline of 30 May and the Form 8 deadline of 30 October are tracked with a thirty-day internal lead time. Partner book closures, contribution confirmations and turnover figures are collected in April and September respectively, so filing happens with comfortable buffer.

Document Retention Across Eight Years

FiLLiP acknowledgement, DPIN proof, the executed agreement on stamp paper, Form 3 challan and SRN, the incorporation certificate (Form 16), PAN and TAN allotment letters, Form 9 partner consents, GST and Udyam certificates and the statutory registers sit in a structured folder ready for an MCA inspection, a FEMA review or litigation production.

FiLLiP Filed Right First Time

Every FiLLiP application is reviewed for completeness, DPIN eligibility, name compliance with Rule 18 and document authenticity before submission. Sholinganallur clients see clean first-pass scrutiny without the typical 15-day resubmission cycle.

Custom Section 23 LLP Agreement

We do not hand out a Schedule I clone. FilingPro drafts each LLP Agreement to the partners' commercial intent — capital, profit-sharing, drawings, decision rights and exit mechanics — explicitly varying Schedule I defaults where the parties so wish for Sholinganallur businesses.

Form 3 Within 30 Days Guaranteed

Form 3 is the most expensive LLP default to ignore — ₹100/day uncapped under Section 69. We track the 30-day window from incorporation and file Form 3 with stamped LLP Agreement well before expiry for every Sholinganallur client.

Key Benefits

What Sholinganallur Clients Get

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

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.
Conversion To Company Remains Available
Should the LLP scale into a venture-backed or IPO trajectory, Section 366 of the Companies Act 2013 permits conversion into a private limited company. Starting as an LLP therefore does not foreclose the corporate journey, it simply defers the company-form compliance until commercially justified.
Limited Liability Shield Under Section 28
Partner liability is contractually limited to the agreed contribution under the LLP Agreement. Personal assets of Sholinganallur partners are insulated from LLP creditors save where Section 31 fraud-trigger lifts the shield.
No Mutual Agency Under Section 26
Unlike a partnership firm under Section 18 of the 1932 Act, in an LLP one partner is not the agent of another — only of the LLP. Sholinganallur partners are not personally exposed to commitments made by co-partners.
Lighter Annual Compliance Than a Company
Compared to a private limited company filing MGT-7, AOC-4, DIR-3 KYC and DPT-3, an LLP files only Form 11 and Form 8 each year. Sholinganallur businesses save on professional and statutory cost without losing limited liability.

People Also Ask — LLP in Sholinganallur
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.
How is interest on partner capital taxed?

Interest on partner capital up to 12% per annum is deductible to the LLP under Section 40(b)(iv) of the Income-tax Act if authorised by the LLP Agreement, and taxable in partner hands as business income under Section 28(v).

Can an LLP carry forward business losses on partner change?

An LLP may carry forward business losses subject to Section 78 of the Income-tax Act which restricts set-off of pre-change losses to the share of continuing partners. The new partner's share of past losses lapses on induction.

What appeal lies against an MCA penalty order on an LLP?

Appeal under Section 72 of the LLP Act 2008 lies to the National Company Law Tribunal within 60 days of the order. Further appeal lies to NCLAT under Section 421 and to the Supreme Court under Section 423.

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).

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.

Taxation of LLPs under the Income-tax Act 1961

Tax on conversion and exit

Conversion of a partnership firm into an LLP is exempt from capital gains tax under Section 47(xiiib) of the Income-tax Act 1961 subject to satisfying conditions including no change in partners' rights for five years and no consideration other than capital contribution. Conversion of a company into an LLP is similarly exempt under Section 47(xiiib) subject to additional conditions including turnover not exceeding sixty lakhs in any of the three preceding years and aggregate profits not exceeding five-lakh in any of the three preceding years (these thresholds were a focus of the Bhat Committee 2005). Failure to satisfy the conditions results in capital-gains tax at conversion; partner exit through retirement triggers tax under Section 9B and Section 45(4) as introduced by the Finance Act 2021.

LLP as a separate taxable person under Section 2(23)

Under Section 2(23)(i) of the Income-tax Act 1961, an LLP is treated as a firm for income-tax purposes, and its income is taxable in its own hands at the firm rate of thirty percent plus surcharge and cess. This differs materially from the UK and US treatment where an LLP or LLC is often a pass-through vehicle for tax purposes. The Indian LLP regime accordingly results in two-layer taxation only where the partner's share is itself taxable — but Section 10(2A) exempts the partner's share of the LLP's total income from tax in the partner's hands, removing the double-taxation concern at the share level. Partner remuneration and interest on capital are deductible in the LLP's hands subject to Section 40(b) limits and are taxable in the partner's hands as business income under Section 28(v).

Section 40(b) deductibility limits on partner remuneration

Section 40(b) of the Income-tax Act 1961 caps the deductibility of partner remuneration in the LLP's hands: on the first three lakhs of book profit (or in case of loss), one-hundred-and-fifty thousand or ninety percent of book profit, whichever is higher; on the balance, sixty percent. The cap was substantially revised by the Finance (No. 2) Act 2024 effective from assessment year 2025-26, increasing the slab limits to reflect inflation since the prior 2009 calibration. Interest on partner capital is deductible at up to twelve percent simple interest per annum subject to the rate provided in the LLP Agreement. Remuneration to non-working partners is not deductible; the LLP Agreement should clearly identify each partner as working or non-working to substantiate the deduction.

Audit and assurance requirements for LLPs

Internal audit and risk management

The LLP Act 2008 does not mandate internal audit, in contrast with Section 138 of the Companies Act 2013 which triggers internal-audit obligations for prescribed companies. LLPs above a certain operational scale nevertheless voluntarily commission internal audit to support partner oversight and to provide assurance to lenders and stakeholders. The internal-audit programme typically follows SA 610 reliance-on-internal-audit-by-statutory-auditor principles, and risk-based internal-audit methodology aligned with COSO ERM 2017 or ISO 31000. The LLP Agreement may explicitly provide for internal audit, designate the appointing partner committee, and prescribe reporting lines — provisions especially common in JV LLPs where the venturers wish to maintain independent oversight of operational risk.

Audit independence and partner-related-party transactions

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.

Conversion to LLP from other forms

Private-limited to LLP conversion under Section 56 and Third Schedule

Section 56 of the LLP Act 2008 read with the Third Schedule provides for conversion of a private limited company into an LLP. The application is in Form 18 with FiLLiP, accompanied by a statement of shareholders' consent, statement of assets and liabilities certified by a chartered accountant, list of pending proceedings, board resolution approving the conversion, no-objection from secured creditors, and indemnity bond by the directors. The conversion is permitted only where there is no security interest subsisting on the company's assets except as notified by the secured creditors, and where the company has not filed any prospectus or invitation to subscribe. On approval, all assets and liabilities vest in the LLP; the company is dissolved; and the Registrar of Companies cancels the company's registration.

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.

What Sholinganallur clients usually ask next: For Sholinganallur engagements specifically — supporting the IT-services workforce that commutes here from OMR Velachery and Anna Nagar; where IT consultancies and software-services arms file GST predominantly under SAC 9983 and claim export-of-services LUT refunds; for Sholinganallur IT-services firms managing export-LUT cycles alongside payroll and TDS.

Glossary

Plain-English glossary for this service

Terms you will hear in this area — Sholinganallur businesses operate where where IT consultancies and software-services arms file GST predominantly under SAC 9983 and claim export-of-services LUT refunds.

DIN

DIN is Director Identification Number issued under Section 153 of the Companies Act 2013. After integration with DPIN, every individual proposed as a designated partner of an LLP must hold a DIN; up to two DINs may be allotted within the FiLLiP form itself.

FiLLiP

FiLLiP is the Form for Incorporation of Limited Liability Partnership — an integrated MCA web form that combines name reservation, DIN allotment for up to two designated partners and the actual incorporation filing into a single submission. It replaced the earlier Form 1 and Form 2 architecture.

RUN-LLP

RUN-LLP is the Reserve Unique Name web service on the MCA portal used to reserve a proposed name for a new LLP or to seek a change of name for an existing LLP. Two proposed names may be submitted; the approval is valid for ninety days.

LLP Agreement

LLP Agreement is the written contract among the partners and between the partners and the LLP, regulating mutual rights and duties, profit sharing, capital contribution, decision rules and exit terms. It is filed in Form 3 within thirty days of incorporation and is liable to stamp duty.

First Schedule

First Schedule to the LLP Act contains the default provisions governing the mutual rights and duties of the partners where the LLP agreement is silent. Among other things, it provides for equal sharing of profits, no entitlement to remuneration and the requirement of consent of all partners for admission of a new partner.

Contribution

Contribution is the monetary or non-monetary investment of a partner in the LLP as recorded in the LLP agreement. It can take the form of cash, tangible or intangible property, services rendered or contracts for services. The value is to be disclosed in the accounts and certified.

Body Corporate

Body Corporate is a juristic person recognised by law as having an existence distinct from its members. Section 3 of the LLP Act declares every LLP to be a body corporate, enabling it to own property, contract, sue and be sued in its own name and to enjoy perpetual succession.

Perpetual Succession

Perpetual Succession is the doctrine that the existence of a corporate entity is not affected by the death, retirement or insolvency of its members. An LLP continues to exist with full legal personality even as its partner composition changes from time to time.

Limited Liability

Limited Liability is the principle that the liability of each partner is restricted to the amount of agreed contribution and that the personal assets of partners are insulated from the debts of the LLP, save in cases of fraud falling within Section 30 of the LLP Act.

Registered Office

Registered Office is the address recorded with the Registrar to which all official communications and notices may be sent. Section 13 mandates every LLP to have a registered office from the date of incorporation; any change must be filed in Form 15 within thirty days.

Certificate of Incorporation

Certificate of Incorporation is the document issued by the Registrar under Section 12 declaring that the LLP is incorporated by the name specified, with effect from the date stated therein. It is conclusive evidence of incorporation and bears the Limited Liability Partnership Identification Number.

LLPIN

LLPIN is the Limited Liability Partnership Identification Number — a unique seven-character alphanumeric code issued to every LLP at the time of incorporation. It is to be cited in every filing with the Registrar and is the principal identifier of the LLP on the MCA21 portal.

By Industry

Industry-specific patterns in Sholinganallur

How the local trade mix shapes this — Sholinganallur businesses operate where where IT consultancies and software-services arms file GST predominantly under SAC 9983 and claim export-of-services LUT refunds, and the business activity radiating outward from SIPCOT IT Park and nearby commercial pockets.

IT Services
Common issue: IT-services founders often default to a Private Limited form because of investor preference, yet bootstrapped product teams with no near-term equity issuance carry the higher governance burden of Section 96 AGMs, Section 173 board meetings and Schedule III financial statements unnecessarily. The mismatch surfaces when annual ROC compliance costs and director liability under Section 166 outweigh the contribution-flexibility loss of the LLP form.
How we handle it: Where ESOP issuance and priced equity rounds are not on the eighteen-month horizon, model an LLP under Section 11 with a profit-share schedule encoded in the LLP Agreement under Section 23. Retain optionality by drafting a conversion clause invoking Section 56 read with the Third Schedule for later conversion to a Private Limited Company once a term sheet materialises.
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).
E-commerce
Common issue: E-commerce LLPs frequently confuse the marketplace versus inventory FDI distinction under Schedule VI when admitting foreign partners. The marketplace model permits foreign capital; the inventory model does not. A casual misalignment between the LLP Agreement's business-object clause and the operational reality invites FEMA contravention.
How we handle it: Draft the LLP Agreement business-object clause restrictively to a marketplace function where foreign capital is contemplated; document the operational model with the AD-Category I bank; obtain a FEMA opinion before each foreign-partner admission. File the FDI-LLP(I) form precisely within thirty days of inward remittance.
E-commerce
Common issue: E-commerce LLPs scaling rapidly often defer the Form 11 annual return and Form 8 statement of accounts beyond the statutory thirty-day-after-fifth-month and thirty-October timelines, accumulating Section 76A penalties at one-hundred rupees per day per form without cap before the 2021 amendment, and reduced caps thereafter.
How we handle it: Implement an MCA21 v3 compliance calendar with Form 11 May-thirty and Form 8 October-thirty triggers; designate one designated partner with statutory compliance accountability under Section 7(1); commission an annual independent review of LLP filings against the public register to detect any drift.
Hospitality
Common issue: Hotel and restaurant LLPs often run into FSSAI Section 31 licensing complications when converting from a partnership firm to an LLP under Section 55, since the FSSAI licence is in the partnership-firm name and does not auto-transfer. Operating without a fresh FSSAI registration in the LLP name attracts Section 63 penalties.
How we handle it: Sequence the Section 55 conversion such that FSSAI modification or fresh licence in the LLP's name is obtained within the regulatory window; ensure the LLP Agreement explicitly covers food-service business; maintain parallel GST registration continuity through Section 18 ITC-transfer mechanism with Form ITC-02.

Anonymised engagements we have handled

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

A flavour of cases we handle nearby — Sholinganallur businesses operate where where IT consultancies and software-services arms file GST predominantly under SAC 9983 and claim export-of-services LUT refunds, and Sholinganallur businesses in the it services arm find that businesses here routinely handle export-of-services GST refunds under Rule 89 and SOFTEX form reconciliation.

Partner exitHospitality

Cessation of partner under Section 24 with valid notice and Form 4 filing

Issue: A hospitality LLP partner served notice of resignation under the LLP Agreement and Section 24 of the LLP Act 2008. The remaining partners ignored the notice for four months and continued to file returns showing the resigned partner as active. The exiting partner approached counsel because banks were still requiring his signature on cheques.
Approach: We represented the exiting partner and served a fresh statutory 30-day notice under Section 24(2), then filed Form 4 in the partner's own capacity under the proviso permitting individual filing where the LLP defaults, attached the resignation letter with receipt acknowledgement, and circulated a public-notice in a Tamil and English daily as a precautionary measure to limit ongoing third-party liability.
Outcome: Cessation recorded by MCA within 21 days; banking signature panel updated; outgoing partner's liability frozen from notice date saving exposure on a subsequent ₹18 lakh creditor default.
Designated partner liabilityHospitality

Joint and several liability of designated partners under Section 8

Issue: A hospitality LLP defaulted on TDS deposit for two quarters under Section 200 of the Income-tax Act read with Section 8 of the LLP Act 2008 which makes designated partners jointly and severally liable for compliance under any law. The income-tax department issued notice under Section 201(1A) interest plus Section 271C penalty against the designated partners personally.
Approach: We computed the TDS shortfall precisely across both quarters, paid the TDS with Section 201(1A) interest at 1.5% per month, filed corrective TDS returns through Conso-File mode, drafted representations distinguishing bona-fide cash-flow distress from wilful default, and invoked the Supreme Court principle in CIT v R.M. Chidambaram Pillai SC 1977 on designated-partner conduct in proportionate-share contexts.
Outcome: Section 271C penalty proceedings dropped on demonstration of reasonable cause; interest paid ₹68,000; both designated partners released from personal exposure; TDS compliance fully cured.
Going concernManufacturing

LLP audit qualification on going-concern lifted via partner contribution

Issue: A manufacturing LLP received a qualified audit report citing material uncertainty on going-concern under SA 570 because of accumulated losses exceeding 75% of contributed capital and negative working capital. The qualified report risked rejection by lenders and threatened renewal of a ₹1.5 crore cash-credit facility crucial to operations.
Approach: We arranged a fresh partner-contribution of ₹40 lakh through a supplementary LLP Agreement with the existing partners, filed Form 3 amendment within 30 days, infused funds into working capital, demonstrated turnaround through three months of positive EBITDA, obtained a revised auditor's opinion on the strength of post-balance-sheet events, and supported the lender renewal with the upgraded financials.
Outcome: Going-concern qualification removed; lender renewed cash-credit facility; ₹1.5 crore working-capital support continued; manufacturing operations stabilised; estimated ₹18 lakh interest spread preserved over loan tenure.
SuccessionProfessional Services

LLP succession via Section 23(3) supplementary agreement on partner death

Issue: A professional-services LLP partner died intestate leaving a 40% profit-share. The LLP Agreement did not provide for automatic admission of legal heirs nor for buy-out. The deceased partner's contribution and accrued profits had to be valued, distributed to heirs, and the LLP had to either induct a new partner or restructure the surviving partners' shares to continue operations.
Approach: We obtained the legal-heir certificate, valued the deceased's capital and profit accrual through an independent CA, executed a settlement deed with all legal heirs accepting buyout consideration, structured a supplementary LLP Agreement re-allocating profit shares amongst surviving partners, filed Form 4 for cessation under Section 24(c) on partner-death, and Form 3 for the supplementary agreement within 30 days.
Outcome: Cessation accepted; legal heirs paid ₹62 lakh buyout in four instalments; LLP continued without dissolution; surviving partners' profit-shares restated; no Section 47(xiii) capital-gains trigger because of partner-cessation carve-out.

Why these Sholinganallur engagements look the way they do: For Sholinganallur engagements specifically — the cluster of it services, sez, e-commerce businesses that defines Sholinganallur's commercial fabric; for Sholinganallur IT-services firms managing export-LUT cycles alongside payroll and TDS.

Common Questions

LLP FAQ — Sholinganallur

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

Form 4 under Rule 22 is the notice of appointment, cessation, change in name, address or designation of a partner or designated partner. It must be filed within 30 days of the change. Late filing attracts ₹100 per day under Section 69. Form 4 must be accompanied by Form 9 (consent to act as designated partner) for incoming designated partners and digitally signed by a continuing designated partner. Any consequential change in the LLP Agreement (revised profit sharing, capital, drawings) is filed separately in Form 3.
Stamp duty on the LLP Agreement is levied by the State under the Indian Stamp Act 1899 as adapted by the State, since LLP is a State subject for stamp purposes. In Tamil Nadu the LLP Agreement is stamped under Article 40 (partnership) of Schedule I to the Indian Stamp Act as in force in Tamil Nadu — typically ₹500 where capital contribution does not exceed ₹1 lakh, with incremental duty for higher contribution slabs. In Maharashtra the duty under Article 47 ranges from ₹500 up to ₹15,000 on a sliding scale by contribution. The agreement must be executed and stamped before filing Form 3.
Yes. Sholinganallur sits squarely within the Chennai South area we serve every day, and we have handled LLP Registration for e-commerce and other clients across this part of Chennai. That local familiarity means fewer surprises for you.
Designated Partner Identification Number (DPIN) is allotted to proposed designated partners through Part B of the FiLLiP form itself — no separate DIR-3 application is needed at the incorporation stage. Where the proposed designated partner already holds a DIN under the Companies Act 2013, that DIN is treated as DPIN under Rule 10 of the LLP Rules and used directly. DPIN is allotted to a maximum of five individuals through FiLLiP; for additions thereafter, Form DIR-3 must be filed.
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.
Our work is led by Ravivarman R, a tax practitioner with 15+ years and 500+ engagements, backed by specialists in compliance and GST. We base every LLP Registration recommendation on current law and your actual facts — not generic templates — and we are happy to explain the reasoning.
The concept of Small LLP was introduced by the LLP (Amendment) Act 2021 and Section 2(1)(ta). A Small LLP is one whose contribution does not exceed ₹25 lakh (or higher amount up to ₹5 crore as may be prescribed) and turnover in the immediately preceding financial year does not exceed ₹40 lakh (or higher amount up to ₹50 crore as may be prescribed). Small LLPs enjoy reduced filing fees, capped additional fees of ₹1,000 under Section 69 and decriminalised lighter penalty regime under Sections 76A and 76B as inserted by the 2021 amendment.
Section 6 stipulates two partners as the floor. Section 7 separately fixes two designated partners as the minimum, with at least one of them required to be Indian-resident. Designated partners shoulder compliance responsibility and personal consequence for default. The partner role itself can be filled by individuals or body corporates, but designated-partner appointments must go to individuals — where a body corporate is admitted, it nominates a natural person to fill the designated slot. No statutory ceiling applies to overall partner count. DPIN for first-time appointees is allotted through the FiLLiP submission itself.
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.
The LLP Agreement is the written contract between the partners (or between the partners and the LLP) that governs mutual rights and duties, executed on stamp paper of the appropriate State. Section 23 read with Schedule I prescribes default provisions where the agreement is silent. A well-drafted LLP Agreement covers — name and registered office, business activities, capital contribution by each partner (Section 32), profit and loss sharing ratio, drawing rights and remuneration, decision-making thresholds, admission and expulsion of partners, dispute resolution, dissolution and Schedule I exclusions where parties wish to vary the default rules.
Rule 21 prescribes Form 3 lodgement inside the thirty-day window from the date the certificate carries. Default beyond that triggers Section 69 additional fee at one hundred rupees daily, uncapped. Before filing, the agreement must rest on stamp paper of correct value under the relevant State schedule — in our jurisdiction, Article 40 of the State stamp schedule applies with rates rising along the contribution slab. Insufficient stamping renders the document unusable as evidence under the inadmissibility rule in the Stamp Act, which becomes commercially serious if a partner dispute later requires the agreement to be produced in court.
Yes — we handle LLP Registration for individuals and businesses across Sholinganallur (PIN 600119) and nearby Perungudi. The work is done end-to-end by our own team, with documents collected online over WhatsApp or email and in-person meetings available at our Maduravoyal and Nerkundram offices. Call 9566-068-468 to begin.
Form 8 is the Statement of Account and Solvency prescribed under Section 34 read with Rule 24. It contains a declaration of solvency by the designated partners and the statement of accounts (statement of assets and liabilities and statement of income and expenditure) for the financial year ending 31 March. The due date is 30 October of the following financial year — for FY 2025-26, Form 8 is due by 30 October 2026. Form 8 must be signed by two designated partners and certified by an auditor where audit applies, or by a practising CA/CS/CMA otherwise.
No. Section 10(2A) of the Income-tax Act exempts the share of profit of a partner in the total income of a firm or LLP, since the LLP is taxed at the entity level at 30% plus surcharge and cess. There is also no Dividend Distribution Tax or buy-back tax on the LLP — making post-tax profit distribution to partners tax-free in their hands, which is a structural advantage over a private limited company where dividend is taxable in shareholder hands post Finance Act 2020.
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.
Yes. Section 366 of the Companies Act 2013 read with the Companies (Authorised to Register) Rules 2014 permits conversion of an LLP into a company. The LLP must have at least two members (seven for public company), all partners must consent, an advertisement in Form URC-2 must be published, NOC from the Registrar of LLPs must be obtained and Form URC-1 must be filed along with SPICe+ for the new company. The LLP stands dissolved on issue of the certificate of incorporation. Section 47(xiii) of the IT Act may apply for capital gains exemption subject to continuity conditions.
