To begin the LLP registration process, a designated partner must obtain a Digital Signature Certificate from a government-approved certifying authority. Either a Class 2 or Class 3 DSC is acceptable, with Class 3 often preferred for higher security. This certificate is essential for filing online forms with the MCA. Cloud Tax CA assists in procuring the DSC swiftly, ensuring the LLP formation process starts without unnecessary delays.
Every designated partner of an LLP must have a Designated Partner Identification Number (DPIN). To obtain it, applicants typically file Form DIR-3 with a scanned copy of their Aadhaar and PAN card, signed by the company secretary or by the LLP’s MD, CFO, or CEO. Under the revised process, there’s no need to apply for a separate DPIN—partners can now get it directly while filing the LLP incorporation form, making registration faster and simpler.
The next step in the LLP registration process is to secure a unique and compliant name for your firm. This is done by filing the LLP-RUN (Reserve Unique Name) form with the Registrar of Companies. [Text Wrapping Break]You can propose up to two names, which will be reviewed for uniqueness, legality, and non-offensiveness. If the name is rejected or an objection is raised, you can resubmit the application within 15 days, ensuring your LLP name is successfully approved.
After your LLP name is approved, the next step is to incorporate the firm by submitting FiLLiP (Form for Incorporation of Limited Liability Partnership) to the Registrar of Companies in the state where your registered office is located. A qualified professional must verify and digitally sign your documents before submission. The application also requires payment of the prescribed incorporation fee as per Annexure “A,” completing the formal process of registering your LLP.
