Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) Registration
A Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) is a partnership in which some or all partners have limited liability. It, therefore, exhibits elements of partnerships and company.
In an LLP, one partner is not responsible or liable for another partner’s misconduct or negligence. This is an important difference from that of an unlimited partnership. In an LLP, some partners have a form of limited liability similar to that of the shareholders of a private limited company.

- Minimum Requirement:
An LLP firm can be started with just two partners out of which one should be an Indian resident. The actual partners of the LLP firm can either be one person or a corporate body. Moreover, there is no specific capital requirement to start a limited liability partnership firm registration.
- Protection of Name:
By registering the LLP at ROC you prevent another partnership or company from registering the same name.
Disadvantages
- Huge Penalties:
The compliance cost is not much but if the same is not filed within the prescribed timeframe then the cost of non-compliance would lead to huge penalties.
- Difficult Transferability:
If a partner wants to transfer its share or interest as per the desire or on its own, such a partner has to obtain the consent of other partners. This discourages investment in an LLP.
- Inclusion of Indian:
An NRI/Foreign national who wants to incorporate an LLP in India shall have at least one partner who would hold Indian citizenship.
