The Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) Act, 2008 was enacted by the parliament of India to introduce an alternative corporate business vehicle that bridges the gap between a traditional partnership and a joint-stock company.
Key Aspects of LLP Act:
The Act creates a business model that offers the organizational ease of a traditional partnership while granting the entity a separate legal identity and its partners limited liability.
It allows partners the complete freedom to draft their own LLP Agreement. This determines their mutual rights, duties, profit-sharing ratios, and internal management rules without heavy statutory interference.
A partner is not bound or liable for the independent, wrongful acts, or misconduct of another partner.
Every Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) is required to file an Annual return duly authenticated with the Registrar of Companies every year in E-Form 11 along with the prescribed fees
Every Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) is required to prepare a Statement of Accounts & Solvency of the Company and file the same with the Registrar of Companies every year in E-Form 8 along with the prescribed fees.
Every LLP is required to make the minutes of the proceedings of the meeting and is required to maintain a minutes book containing the minutes of the meeting of Partners at the Registered Office of the LLP.
The quickest way to close the non-operational LLP is through a process called Fast Track Exit (FTE) under LLP Act, 2008 read with Rule 37 of the LLP Rules, 2009.
