Normal LLP Registration in India
Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) is a popular business structure that combines the advantages of a partnership and a private limited company. LLPs provide limited liability protection to partners while allowing them to manage the business flexibly. This structure is ideal for small and medium businesses, startups, and professional firms looking for ease of operation and legal security.
Why Choose LLP Registration?
-
Limited Liability Protection– Partners’ personal assets are protected against business liabilities.
-
Separate Legal Entity– LLP can own assets, enter contracts, and sue or be sued in its own name.
-
Lower Compliance Costs– Compared to private limited companies, LLPs have minimal compliance requirements.
-
Flexible Management– No restrictions on capital contribution and partner roles.
-
Tax Benefits– LLPs are taxed at a flat rate without dividend distribution tax.

Step-by-Step Process of LLP Registration in India
Step 1: Obtain Digital Signature Certificate (DSC)
Since LLP registration is an online process, partners need a DSC issued by government-approved certifying agencies.
Step 2: Apply for Director Identification Number (DIN)
Each designated partner must obtain a DIN from the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA).
Step 3: Name Reservation (LLP-RUN Form)
The proposed LLP name must be unique and comply with MCA guidelines. The name application is submitted through the LLP-RUN form.
Step 4: File LLP Incorporation Form (FiLLiP)
The incorporation application is submitted with details of partners, registered office address, and capital contribution.
Step 5: Draft and File LLP Agreement
The LLP Agreement outlines the rights and responsibilities of partners. It must be filed within 30 days of incorporation.
Step 6: Obtain LLP Registration Certificate
Once approved, the MCA issues the Certificate of Incorporation, making the LLP legally valid.
Step 7: PAN, TAN, and Bank Account Opening
The LLP must apply for PAN and TAN and open a business bank account for financial transactions.
