Dear Folks,

Application for striking off name of Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) shall be file in form 24:

Form 3 Need to be file before closure of LLP:

1. Now, due to some dispute between partners, they want to dissolve LLP is it possible as incorporation has been done just 2 months back?-LLP shall be closed after one year of its Incorporation when its get failed to start an operation and form 3 is pre-requsite for filing of form 24 for LLPM Closure.

2. Or whether any of one can resign and another can be added?
If we go for option 2, first we have to file the initial agreement and then only we can change the agreement, am I correct?-Yes right need to be file Form 3 for Initial agreement then file again form 3 & 4 for partners change.

More, LLP act or rules doesn’t provide any exemptions regarding the filing of LLP agreement in form LLP-3 but when you will do pre-scrutinty of form 24 popup will come for the filing of form 3.

In case of change in LLP agreement due to appointment or cessation of designated partner(s)/ partner(s), eForm 4 (Notice of appointment, cessation, change in name/ address/ designation of a designated partner or partner and consent to become a partner/ designated partner) should be filed together at the time of filing of eForm 3. 

The Stamp Duty payable of LLP Agreement is a State subject and same may be paid as per the State Stamp Act. Till the time specific Stamp Duty is prescribed in respective Stamp Act, the Stamp duty on LLP Agreement may be paid as per the stamp duty payable on partnership agreement in view of the Finance Bill, 2009.
