A Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) is a form of business that offers the combined features of ‘partnership’ and ‘company’ business structures. This business form was introduced in India in April 2009 with the enactment of the Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008.
An LLP combines the advantages of both ‘Company’ and ‘Partnership’ in a single business entity. In an LLP, a partner is not responsible or liable for another partner's misconduct or negligence. Instead, all partners have limited liability, limited to their own acts of commission or omission, similar to shareholders’ liabilities in a limited company.
However, unlike company shareholders, LLP partners have the right to manage the business directly. An LLP also limits the personal liability of a partner for the errors, omissions, incompetence, or negligence of the LLP's employees or other agents. The management of day-to-day business is outlined in the LLP Agreement, providing partners with the freedom to regulate affairs of the business.
LLP registration is administered by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) through the Office of the Registrar of Companies. The incorporation process is fully electronic, similar to the company registration process, i.e. applications and documents are filed electronically and the Registrar issues a digitally-signed Certificate of Incorporation (COI).
CompaniesInn holds the record of registering the Fist LLP in India through the online filing system by MCA on 24-04-2009 (CompaniesInn Consulting LLP*, LLPIN AAA-0002).
