LLP Registration in India
In India, LLP registration has emerged as a new business structure that combines the benefits of a company with the adaptability of a partnership firm into a single entity. The Limited Liability Partnership Act of 2008, which took effect in 2008, introduced the LLP concept to India. Small- and medium-sized firms would do well to use this unusual hybrid.
In India, a Limited Liability Partnership is fairly simple to run and incorporate. The minimum number of partners needed to register an LLP is two, and there is no maximum number. The partners' obligations are laid out in the LLP agreement. An LLP does not hold one partner accountable for the bad behaviour or carelessness of the other partner. In accordance with the terms of the LLP agreement, the partners are accountable for all compliances and requirements.
