Change in Registered Office of Limited Liability Partnership

Change in Registered Office of LLP:-

A Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) is created as per the LIMITED LIABILITY PARTNERSHIP ACT, 2008. Hence, it must regulate its day to day affairs according to the LLP Agreement, LLP Act, and the rules and regulations which are framed thereunder.

As per Section 13 of LLP Act, 2008, every LLP is required to have a registered office where all the notices or communications related to LLP may be received from the Registrar, State or Central Government or any other regulatory authorities. Hence, a registered office is an official address from where the LLP carries on its principal business.

A Registered office can be situated anywhere in India. However, sometimes it may happen that an LLP wants to shift its registered office from one place to another. The reason for changing registered office may be due to managing extra staff and growth of business. In such cases, an LLP can either:

a.   Shift registered office within the same state and within the jurisdiction of the same registrar, or

b.   Shift registered office within the same state but from the jurisdiction of one Registrar to another, or

c.   Shift registered office from one state to another.

Change in address can be done through making an intimation to ROC by filing LLP e-Form 15 and e-Form 3 after taking consent from partners and creditors as required under the law.

Documents Required for Change of LLP Registered Office:-

The following documents must be kept handy as they will be attached while filing forms to change the registered office:

a.   Proof of address of the new office.

b.   Rent Agreement, if the new office has been taken on rent.

c.   Duly signed No Objection Certificate from the owner or the landlord.

Penal Consequences for non-compliance with the Procedural requirement of the Change of the registered office of the LLP:-

If it is found that the LLP does not follow the procedural requirements of change of the registered office of LLP, then such LLP and its partners will be penalized with a minimum penalty amounting Rs. 2000 and a maximum penalty of Rs. 25,000.
