Event-based compliances are obligations that arise when certain events or changes occur in the LLP. These events include changes in partners, registered office, capital contribution, or any other significant changes in the LLP’s structure or operations. Each event requires specific filings with the Registrar of Companies (RoC) and the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA).
If an LLP changes its registered office:
- Within the same state: File Form LLP-15 within 30 days of the change.
- From one state to another: Obtain approval from the Regional Director by filing Form LLP-23 and update the change in LLP Agreement.
To add or remove a partner:
- The LLP must amend its LLP Agreement.
- File Form LLP-3 within 30 days of the change to update the LLP Agreement.
- Additionally, file Form LLP-4 for appointment or cessation of a partner.
If there is a change in the capital contribution of the partners:
- The LLP Agreement must be updated.
- File Form LLP-3 with the MCA within 30 days of the change, along with the revised LLP Agreement.
When there is a change in designated partners:
- File Form LLP-4 within 30 days of the appointment, resignation, or cessation of the designated partner.
- Ensure the LLP Agreement is updated if necessary.
If an LLP changes its business activities:
- Amend the LLP Agreement to reflect the new business activities.
- File Form LLP-3 with the MCA within 30 days of the change.
For any changes in the LLP Agreement (e.g., changes in profit-sharing ratios, capital, or management structure):
- The amended LLP Agreement must be filed with Form LLP-3 within 30 days of the change.
- Non-filing of LLP-3 within the stipulated time attracts a late filing fee of ₹100 per day.
To close or wind up an LLP:
- Voluntary winding-up requires the LLP to pass a resolution and file Form LLP-24 along with supporting documents.
- For striking off the LLP, file Form LLP-24 along with a declaration that the LLP has no debts and is not carrying on business.
To change the name of an LLP:
- File Form LLP-5 after obtaining approval from the partners.
- Update the LLP Agreement and file Form LLP-3.
- The name change must be approved by the RoC, and a Certificate of Incorporation with the new name will be issued.
Though not mandatory for LLPs, if an LLP creates or modifies a charge (i.e., mortgage or lien on its assets):
- It must file Form LLP-8 (for the statement of accounts and solvency) to declare any liabilities, including charges.
- For voluntary registration of charges, LLPs may file Form CHG-1 similar to companies.
