Problems & solutions library
LLP problems and solutions
Rejected names, resubmission remarks, late fees, partner exits, closures and tax disallowances: the problems that actually hold LLPs back are rarely covered by "how to register" guides. This library collects the problems partners and their CAs, CSs and accountants bring to us, organised by stage, with the cause, the fix and how to avoid it next time.
- RUN-LLP name rejected: "resembles an existing LLP, company or trademark"
- The approved LLP name lapsed before FiLLiP was filed
- FiLLiP sent back for resubmission: what to do
- Rejected because no designated partner is resident in India
- Missed the Form 11 (annual return) deadline of 30 May
- Missed the Form 8 (statement of account and solvency) deadline of 30 October
- The LLP late fee is much higher than "₹100 a day"
- Does our LLP need an audit?
- Adding a new partner: which forms, and in what order?
- A partner resigned, but the LLP is not filing Form 4
- Only one partner is left
- A designated partner left, so fewer than two remain

- Changing the LLP's registered office
- Converting a partnership firm into an LLP
