Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What is the date the new LLP registration rules became applicable?

The LLP (Second) Amendment Rules 2018, which centralized the registration process through the Centralised Registration Center, became applicable on October 2, 2018. This change introduced new web-based forms like RUN for name reservation and FiLLiP for incorporation to simplify the process for all states, including Chennai and Bangalore.

2. How can I reserve a name for an LLP under the new rules?

Under the new rules effective from October 2, 2018, you must use the web-based RUN (Reserve Unique Name) form to apply for LLP name reservation. You do not need to possess a Director Identification Number (DIN) to apply for the name reservation through this web form.

3. Can I incorporate an LLP if I do not have a DIN?

Yes, you can incorporate an LLP even if you do not have a DIN. Up to two individuals who do not have a Director Identification Number can now be appointed as designated partners and file their DIN application simultaneously with the LLP incorporation forms through the new FiLLiP process.

4. Which form replaces the old Form 2 for LLP incorporation?

The old Form 2 (Incorporation document and Subscriber’s statement) has been deprecated and replaced by FiLLiP (Form for incorporating LLP). FiLLiP serves as an integrated form that handles multiple services, including the reservation of names, the allotment of DINs, and the formal incorporation of an LLP.

5. Do pending LLP registration forms need to be resubmitted?

Yes, all Form 1 and Form 2, along with Form 17, 18, and Addendums, that were pending processing as of the notification date of the revised forms are marked for resubmission. These must be resubmitted by the applicant using the new web services or the new, revised forms provided.
