Add Partner to LLP

The procedure for adding partner in LLP is as follows –

• In the first step, the most important thing for any person proposing to become a partner in an LLP is that he/she should have Director Identification number (DIN) and Digital signature certificate (DSC). If not, he has to apply for the same first.
• In the second step after getting DSC, proposed partner has to apply for DIN number in the form DIR-3 along with the identity and address proof.
• After DIN is allocated to the proposed partner, consent of all the existing partners of LLP will be taken by holding a meeting and passing resolution to add a new partner in the partnership deed.
• In the fourth step, a supplementary partnership deed will be drafted and the name of the new partner is added.
• In the fifth step, written consent of the incoming partner will be taken.
• After preparing all these documents, form-4 of LLP will be filed within 30 days of the appointment.
• After filing form-4, form-3 will be filed along with original partnership and supplementary partnership deed within 30 days of appointment.
• Finally, when all the forms filed become approved, the name of the proposed partner will be added on the website of ministry of corporate affairs (MCA).
