LLP ADDRESS CHANGE
As the LLP is a creation of Law, the changes in it can only be done by the procedures established under law. Apart from the LLP Act, 2008 and the rules framed thereunder, the primary document which guides and prescribes the method of bringing in a particular change into LLP is its agreement. Needless to mention that the LLP agreement to be enforceable, must be executed on non-judicial stamp paper of appropriate value as per the relevant state government rates. The LLP act further prescribes that the agreement must be registered with the ROC within 30 days of its creation or changes.
Every LLP is required to have a registered address to receive all the communication/notices from the registrar of LLP, Central or State Government, Income-tax Department or other authorities. Though the LLP can have various office throughout India or abroad, it shall have only one address marked as registered address of the LLP and the same must be reported and registered with the registrar of LLP. Any changes in the registered address of LLP must be updated with the registrar. The significance of registered address of LLP can be appreciated by the fact that as per law, the LLP is required to maintain its Books of A/c at the registered address only, further all the minutes’ book of the LLP be also kept and maintained there for eight years. LLP can change its registered address by following due process of law which is typically prescribed in the LLP agreement and in case the agreement is silent on any point then, in that case, the LLP Act may be referred to. To change the registered address within the same ROC can be done easily by filing Form No 15. However, the change of office between one state to another involves taking consent from all creditors, publication of newspaper notice and specific permission on a petition to the regional director of the mca.
