Online LLP Registration in India
Register your Limited Liability Partnership online, from digital signatures and name approval through to your Certificate of Incorporation and LLP agreement.
A Limited Liability Partnership gives you the flexibility of a partnership with the protection of limited liability, which is why professional firms and closely held businesses across India choose it. One partner does not carry the burden of another partner's misconduct or negligence, and compliance stays lighter than a private limited company.
The whole registration runs online through the MCA portal on a single integrated form. AMpuesto handles it end to end: digital signatures, name approval, the FiLLiP filing, Certificate of Incorporation, and the LLP agreement that follows.
Documents required
- For each partner: PAN, Aadhaar, and one address proof such as a bank statement or utility bill under two months old
- Passport-size photo and contact details of each partner
- For the registered office: a recent utility bill and a no-objection certificate from the owner
- Rent agreement, if the premises are rented
- Your proposed LLP name and the business objects
- The contribution and profit-sharing ratio agreed between partners
A home address works fine as a registered office.
What you will get
- Certificate of Incorporation with your LLPIN
- DSC and DPIN for the designated partners
- LLP agreement drafted and filed in Form 3
- PAN and TAN of the LLP
- Guidance on your ongoing statutory compliances
What is an LLP?
A Limited Liability Partnership is a business structure introduced by the Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008. It is a separate legal entity from its partners, so it can own property and enter contracts in its own name, and it continues even when partners change. Partners hold a share of ownership called a contribution rather than shares, and each partner's liability stays limited to what they contributed. That combination of low compliance and real protection makes it a practical first structure for service businesses.
Advantages
- Limited liability that protects each partner's personal assets
- Lighter yearly compliance than a private limited company
- No statutory audit until you cross the turnover or contribution thresholds
- Relatively inexpensive to set up and run
- No minimum capital requirement
- Separate legal entity with perpetual succession
Points to consider
- Financial details appear publicly on the MCA register
- An LLP cannot issue shares, so raising equity funding is harder
- An LLP pays a flat rate of tax, with no slab benefit
- If partners fall below two, a new partner must join within six months
- Venture investors usually prefer a private limited company
Who should register an LLP?
An LLP suits professional practices such as chartered accountants, company secretaries, lawyers, architects, and consultants, where partners want liability protection without heavy compliance. It also works well for family-run and closely held businesses, small service firms, and partnerships that have outgrown an unregistered partnership deed.
If you plan to raise venture funding or issue employee stock options, a private limited company usually fits better, and we will tell you so before you commit. Running the business alone? A sole proprietorship or a one person company may suit you instead.
The LLP registration process
Registration now runs through one integrated form, so it takes fewer steps than it used to.
Digital Signature Certificate
Every designated partner needs a Class 3 DSC, because all filings are signed online. This usually takes a day or two.
Name reservation
We check availability and reserve your name through RUN-LLP, or propose it inside the incorporation form itself. An approved name stays valid for 90 days.
FiLLiP filing
This single form handles incorporation, allots DPIN for up to two designated partners, and applies for your PAN and TAN. A practising professional must certify it, and we do that in house.
Certificate of Incorporation
Once the Registrar approves, you receive your COI under Section 12 with your LLPIN, along with the PAN and TAN. You can start operating from this point.
LLP agreement in Form 3
We draft the agreement setting out rights, duties, contribution, and profit share, execute it on stamp paper, and file it within 30 days of incorporation.
How long it takes
Two to three weeksDSCs take a day or two, name approval can come through the same day or within a couple of days, and the Registrar usually processes FiLLiP in about five to seven working days. Two deadlines matter after that: your reserved name lapses after 90 days, and the LLP agreement must reach the MCA within 30 days of incorporation. We track both.
What it costs
FiLLiP fee from ₹500Name reservation through RUN-LLP costs around ₹200, and DPIN comes free for up to two designated partners when applied through FiLLiP. On top of the government fees sit the DSC charges, state stamp duty on the LLP agreement, and our professional fee.
FiLLiP government fee by capital contribution
| Total capital contribution | FiLLiP government fee |
|---|---|
| Up to ₹1 lakh | ₹500 |
| Above ₹1 lakh up to ₹5 lakh | ₹2,000 |
| Above ₹5 lakh up to ₹10 lakh | ₹4,000 |
| Above ₹10 lakh | ₹5,000 |
Requirements for LLP registration
- At least two partners, with no maximum limit on the number of partners
- At least two designated partners, of whom one must be a resident of India
- A DPIN for each designated partner, allotted through FiLLiP where they do not already hold one
- A Digital Signature Certificate for each designated partner
- A registered office address in India with valid proof
- A unique LLP name that does not clash with an existing company, LLP, or trademark
LLP or private limited company?
This is the decision most founders are really weighing, so here is the short version:
| Factor | LLP | Private limited company |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum partners or members | 2 partners, no maximum | 2 members, up to 200 |
| Compliance load | Lighter, Form 11 and Form 8 | Heavier, AOC-4 and MGT-7 plus AGM |
| Statutory audit | Only above the thresholds | Compulsory from year one |
| Raising equity | Cannot issue shares | Can issue shares to investors |
| Best suited to | Professional firms, small and family businesses | Startups raising outside funding |
Compliance after registration
Once your LLP is incorporated, the yearly cycle is light but firm. You file Form 11, your annual return, by 30 May, and Form 8, your statement of accounts and solvency, by 30 October. Both carry a late fee of ₹100 per day of default with no upper cap, and an additional fee multiplier applies on top once the delay stretches, so neither date is one to let slip.
The LLP also files its income tax return each year, and gets its accounts audited if turnover crosses ₹40 lakh or partner contribution crosses ₹25 lakh, either threshold on its own being enough. We handle the LLP annual filing too, so your LLP stays compliant from the first year. Partner changes during the year are reported separately, under change of director or partner.
Why register through a Chartered Accountant
The FiLLiP form has to be certified by a practising professional before the Registrar will accept it, so a CA is part of this process by design rather than an optional extra. Beyond the certification, most rejections come down to a name clash or a poorly drafted object clause, and both cost you weeks.
Every incorporation here is handled and reviewed by CA Ashish Gambhir, a practising Chartered Accountant with 7+ years across company and LLP formation, GST, and income tax.
