16 February 2016 Hi All,

I would Like to know, the procedure for a resign and admission of Designated Partner of LLP.

The Company has converted in to LLP and by the time of conversion one of the shareholder has transferred his shares to other person.

Now, when the converted LLP is approved, it is showing the Partner as per the old share holders.

What should be the formalities to inform ROC regarding the change in Shareholder/Partners?

Any person eligible to become partner as per the provisions of LLP Act, 2008 can be admitted as partner in LLP as per the provisions of the LLP agreement of the LLP. Section 22 of LLP Act, 2008 provides the same.

The incoming partner has to see he is not disqualified to become a partner as per the provisions of section 22 of LLP Act, 2008. Also it is to be seen that he is eligible to become a partner as specified in the Limited Liability Partnership agreement of the LLP.

LLP Rules are silent about admission of partner in LLP. As per section 7 of First Schedule for introducing any new partner in LLP consent of all the existing partners of LLP is required to be obtained if nothing is provided in LLP Agreement. In the absence of provisions in LLP Act and LLP Agreement the provisions of First Schedule will become applicable but the applicability of provisions of First Schedule in LLP is not mandatory2

Is it mandatory to enter into fresh agreement every time whenever any new partner is being introduced in LLP?

It is customary in case of partnership to enter into deed of admission of partnerat the time of admission of any partner. In case of companies, Articles of Association is considered as an agreement between members and company and admission of shareholder does not require amendment in Articles of Association, neitherIit is required to under go execution every time at the time of admission of any shareholder. In case of LLP, it is a combination of partnership and company.

Unlike, partnership, LLP has no restriction on maximum number of partners. Accordingly, LLP Act does not mandatory require execution of LLP Agreement at the time of admission of partner.
Hence, it is legally possible to treat LLP Agreement as is the treatment for Articles of Association. In such cases, LLP Agreement would need appropriate drafting of clauses.
