Documents Required for LLP Registration
Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) is a newer form of business which is a mixture of a company and a partnership firm. While it has benefits and characteristics of a private limited company, it can be operated flexibly just like a normal partnership. Compliances are lesser in LLP as compared to a company, yet the partners have limited liability since LLP acts as a legal entity separate from partners.
Indian National as Partner in LLP
The following documents are mandatorily required for Indian Nationals incorporating an LLP:
PAN Card: PAN Card copy of the proposed Partners of the LLP will be required for the LLP registration process. The Department of Income Tax in India issues the PAN or Permanent Account Number which is a unique identification number
Address Proof: In addition to the PAN Card copy, the proposed Partner must also submit an address proof and residential proof. The address proof submitted must have the name of the Partner as mentioned in the PAN Card and the most current address. The document must also not be older than 2 months.
