Steps (FiLLiP + Form 3)
Name reservation, DSC/DPIN, FiLLiP incorporation, then the LLP Agreement in Form 3.
LLP Agreement in 30 days
File Form 3 within 30 days of incorporation, or a penalty applies. Our incorporation service covers it.
The FiLLiP-to-Form 3 sequence and the agreement
The LLP route mirrors a company’s but with its own forms. You obtain digital signatures and DPINs (the LLP equivalent of DIN) for the designated partners, reserve the name through the RUN-LLP or the FiLLiP form, then file FiLLiP for incorporation — which can also allot DPINs and the LLP’s PAN and TAN. On approval the Registrar issues the Certificate of Incorporation. The step that’s easy to forget is Form 3: the LLP Agreement, which sets out the partners’ rights, profit-sharing, capital, management and exit terms, must be filed within 30 days of incorporation, and a delay carries a ₹100-per-day penalty with no cap. The agreement should be drafted to fit the business, not left as a generic template, because it governs how the LLP actually runs and how disputes are resolved. After incorporation, the LLP needs at least two designated partners (one India-resident), a registered office, and the usual PAN-based registrations the business requires. Getting the agreement drafted alongside the incorporation, rather than after, is what keeps the 30-day Form 3 window comfortable and the LLP properly constituted from day one.
