28 May 2012Hello Friends,
We have a LLP with 2 Designated Partners & a Partner. We need to submit Form 11 before the impending deadline of end May'12.
Is it necessary to digitally sign Form 11 by EACH & EVERY Designated Partner as well as Partner? Or is it okay to digitally sign Form 11 by any one of the Designated Partners?
Thanks for your inputs,
Manish

dear manish,
form 11 needs to be signed by 2 designated partners or by 1 designated partner and 1 professional (CA, CS, CWA).

Dear Sangramji,
I am having one query relating to Form 11...
SPACE OF DIGITAL SIGNATURE FOR ONLY "Company Secretary in practice" & "Certificate of Practice Number" GIVEN
I JUST WISH TO KNOW THAT CAs ARE NOT ELIGIBLE TO SIGN DIGITALLY IN FORM 11...?

Please note that when registering dsc on llp panel, it gives option for registering the dsc of CA, CS & ICWA. So once you register your dsc, you can sign and try to upload. if it recognizes the dsc, it will allow you to upload. OR if not, then you may get it signed from a CS.
There is no harm in trying the option.

Form 11 states only PCS can sign the form, incase only one designated partner is having DSC. Options for other professional are available in other forms but not for Form 11
or else make DSC for both the designated partners and file the form

Dear Friends,
Instruction to form 11 says:
"
|
The Annual Return of an LLP having turnover upto Rupees Five Crores during the corresponding financial year or contribution upto Rupees Fifty Lakhs shall be accompanied with a certificate from a designated partner, other than the signatory to the Annual Return, to the effect that the Annual Return contains true and correct information. In all other cases, the Annual Return shall be accompanied with a certificate from a Company Secretary in practice to the effect that he has verified the particulars from the books and records of the LLP and found them to be true and correct. |
So it can be either signed by 2 designated partners (if falling under critria TO 5 cr / Contribution 50 lac) or by 1 designated partner and 1 PCS.
NOT BY ANY CA/ICWA.
IT depends under which catagory LLP is falling
