1 LIMITED LIABILITY PARTNERSHIP ACT [LLP ACT] With the growth of Indian economy, the role played by its entrepreneurs as well as its technical and professional manpower has been acknowledged internationally. In this background, a need was felt for a new corporate form that would provide an alternative to the traditional partnership which exposes its partners to unlimited personal liability and a statute based governance structure of limited liability companies. Limited Liability Partnership [LLP] is viewed as an alternative corporate business vehicle that provides the benefits of the limited liability but allows its members the flexibility of organizing their internal structure as a partnership based on a mutually arrived agreement. LLP form is expected to enable entrepreneurs, professionals and enterprises providing services of any kind or engaged in scientific and technical disciplines, to form commercially efficient vehicles suited to their requirements. With this background, Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008 [LLP Act] was enacted on January 7, Subsequently, Government of India [GOI] notified various provisions of LLP Act on 31st March GOI has, on April 1, 2009, also notified the Limited Liability Partnership Rules, 2009 [LLP Rules] in respect of registration and operational aspects under the LLP Act. Key Definitions "Body Corporate" is defined to mean a company as defined under the Companies Act, 1956 and includes LLP, LLP incorporated outside India, a foreign company but does not include a corporation sole, a registered co-operative society and any other body corporate notified by the Central Government (not being a company defined under the Companies Act, 1956 or LLP defined under LLP Act). [Section 2(1)(d)]. "Business" includes every trade, profession, service and occupation. [Section 2(1) (e)]. "Financial Year", in relation to LLP, means the period from 1st April of a year to the 31st March of the following year. However, in case of LLP incorporated after 30th September, financial year may end on 31st March of the year next following that year. [Section 2(1) (l)]. "Foreign Limited Liability Partnership" means a LLP formed, incorporated or registered outside India which establishes a place of business within India? [Section 2(1) (m)]. "Limited Liability Partnership" means a partnership formed and registered under LLP Act. [Section 2(1)(n)]. "Limited liability partnership agreement" means any written agreement between the partners of LLP or between the LLP and its partners which determines the mutual rights and duties of the partners and their rights and duties in relation to that LLP. [Section 2(1) (o)]. "Partner" in relation to LLP means a person who becomes a partner in a LLP in accordance with the LLP agreement. [Section 2(1)(q)] Nature of LLP LLP is a "body corporate" formed and incorporated under LLP Act; Legal entity separate from its partners and has perpetual succession.
2 [Section 3(1)] Two or more partners are required to form an LLP. Any individual or a body corporate can be a partner in a LLP.
