Frequently asked
Can we rewrite the whole agreement instead of doing a supplementary deed?+
Yes — for major rewrites, a fresh full agreement is cleaner than layering deeds. The stamp duty is higher but the document is easier to read and easier to enforce in disputes. We can quote either route.
What about profit-share changes that take effect mid-year?+
The supplementary deed takes effect from the date stated in it. Most LLPs align profit-share changes to the start of a financial year for clean accounting, but mid-year changes are legally fine.
Do we need to file anything with the Income-tax department?+
The LLP's PAN doesn't change. But profit-share changes affect each partner's individual taxation, so the partners' personal returns will reflect the new ratios from the effective date.
