Overview

What this filing does

An LLP records its partners with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs through two short forms — Form 4 for the partner change itself and Form 3 if the LLP Agreement also changes. Both must be filed within 30 days of the change. Late filing carries an additional fee that's a multiple of the normal filing fee — starting at 1× for short delays and climbing sharply (through 4×, 10×, 15×) the longer the filing is held back. Missed deadlines get expensive fast.

The supplementary deed amending the LLP Agreement, the joining or resignation paperwork, and both forms are prepared and filed within the 30-day window. The Registrar's records and your own records stay in sync.

When you need this

Common reasons founders engage this

  • A new partner is joining the LLP, with or without a capital contribution.
  • A designated partner is stepping down or being replaced.
  • A partner has passed away and their share is being settled.
  • An existing partner's role is changing — from a designated partner to an ordinary one, or the other way around.
From your side

Documents you will need to send

Most of these can be scanned or photographed from your phone. Everything required is listed in the checklist sent the same day, so nothing is collected later as a surprise.

  • Resignation letter (for an exiting partner) or written consent (for an incoming one).
  • Self-attested PAN and Aadhaar for any new partner.
  • Profit-share or contribution change details, if any.
  • The existing LLP Agreement (already on file if the LLP was set up through us).
