The resident partner rule shapes everything

Section 7 of the LLP Act requires every LLP to have at least two designated partners who are individuals, and at least one of them must be resident in India. Two NRIs cannot run an Indian LLP between them as the only designated partners. Residency here is a physical-stay test, not a citizenship test. If your resident designated partner is about to move abroad, that is a compliance problem arriving on a date you can predict — deal with it before, not after.

FDI eligibility is the gate, checked first

Foreign investment into an LLP is permitted under the automatic route only where the LLP operates in a sector that allows 100 per cent FDI under the automatic route with no performance-linked conditions. If your sector carries conditions, or sits under the approval route, the investment needs government approval first. We check this before anything else is filed.

FEMA reporting, not an afterthought

Capital contribution by a non-resident into an LLP is reportable under FEMA. Filing sits within statutory timelines and missing it attracts late submission fees. Most providers raise this after the MCA filing is done, by which point the clock has been running.

The banking route cannot be fixed later

Contribution must come through banking channels into the LLP's account, with the FIRC and KYC trail intact. Money routed informally cannot be regularised afterwards without pain.

Apostille drives the foreign timeline

A DPIN for a foreign national requires a passport apostilled or consularised in the country of residence, plus address proof, both attested per the prescribed route. Apostille turnaround varies by country, which is where timelines slip. It is the first thing we start.

Stamp duty is a state question

The supplementary LLP agreement attracts stamp duty under the State Stamp Act, generally by reference to contribution. A Maharashtra LLP and a West Bengal LLP with identical contributions pay different amounts. An under-stamped agreement is not admissible in evidence, which matters exactly when partners fall out.

Removing a partner uses the same forms

A resigning partner gives not less than thirty days notice unless the agreement says otherwise, and Form 4 records the cessation within thirty days. One warning for anyone resigning: until Form 4 is filed, third parties are entitled to treat you as still a partner. Confirm the LLP has actually filed it. Do not assume.
