Pro Tips
💡 LLP is ideal for professionals
CA firms, law firms, consulting agencies, and architects prefer LLP for its lower compliance burden and no mandatory audit below ₹40 lakh turnover.
💡 File LLP agreement within 30 days
After incorporation, you must file the LLP agreement (Form 3) within 30 days. Late filing attracts ₹100/day penalty.
💡 No minimum capital required
Unlike companies, LLP does not require any minimum paid-up capital. Partners can contribute ₹0 in cash and contribute services instead.
