Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) is a relatively new type of business entity in India that combines the advantages of both the Company and Partnership into a single form of organization and one partner is not responsible or liable for another partner’s misconduct or negligence. Therefore, all partners have a form of limited liability for each individual’s protection within the partnership, similar to that of the shareholders of a company. For various reasons, there maybe a requirement for adding a new Partner or removing a partner to an existing Partnership.

 

 

Every LLP must have at least two Designated Partners who are natural persons and at least one of them shall be resident in India. The LLP deed specifies who are to be Designated Partners and the responsibility of doing all acts, things and matters as are required under the LLP Act vests with the Designated Partners and they are concerned with the overall administration of LLP. A Designated Partner can be added or removed by passing a resolution by LLP and filing relevant forms with the Registrar of Companies.

 

 

Mandatory requirements for appointment of Designated Partners are valid Digital Signature Certificate (DSC), Designated Partner Identification Number (DPIN) and Consent Letter from proposed Designated Partner. DPIN is similar to DIN in case of Directors of Companies. DPIN can be obtained for any person above the age of 18. Indian National, Non-Resident Indians, and Foreign Nationals can be appointed a Designated Partner in India.

 

Who cannot be a Designated Partner in a LLP?

 

• A person adjudged insolvent within preceding 5 years;

 

• A person who has defaulted in payment made to Creditors within preceding 5 years and has not made a composition with them;

 

• A person convicted by a Court for an offence involving moral turpitude involving sentence of not less than six months;

 

• A person involved in any act of fraud;

 

• Minors below the age of 18 years.
