✅ Step-by-Step LLP Registr​​ation Process in India

1. Obtain Digital Signature Certificate (DSC)

All designated partners must acquire a Class 2 or Class 3 DSC to digitally sign documents during the registration process. Authorized certifying agencies like eMudhra, V-Sign, or NIC issue these certificates. The cost typically ranges between ₹1,500–₹2,000 per DSC, and issuance usually takes 2–3 working days. 

2. Apply for Director Identification Number (DIN)

Each designated partner needs a DIN, which can be obtained by filing Form DIR-3 on the MCA portal. The application requires self-attested copies of PAN and Aadhaar cards and must be digitally signed by a practicing Chartered Accountant, Company Secretary, or Cost Accountant. 

3. Reserve LLP Name

Use the RUN-LLP (Reserve Unique Name – LLP) service on the MCA portal to propose up to two names for your LLP. Ensure the names are unique and not similar to existing entities. A fee of ₹200 is applicable. Upon approval, the name is reserved for 90 days.

4. File Incorporation Application (FiLLiP)

Submit the Form for Incorporation of LLP (FiLLiP) on the MCA portal. This form includes details like the LLP's registered office address, business activities, and partner information. The incorporation fee varies based on the capital contribution:

5. Obtain Certificate of Incorporation (CoI)

Upon successful verification, the Registrar of Companies (RoC) issues the CoI in Form 16, which includes the LLP Identification Number (LLPIN). This certificate confirms the legal existence of the LLP. 

6. Apply for PAN and TAN

After incorporation, apply for the LLP's Permanent Account Number (PAN) and Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number (TAN) through the NSDL or UTIITSL portals. These are essential for tax-related activities. 

7. Draft and File LLP Agreement

The LLP Agreement outlines the mutual rights and duties of partners. It must be executed on stamp paper (value varies by state) and filed with the MCA using Form 3 within 30 days of incorporation. Delays attract a penalty of ₹100 per day.
