Benefits of LLP Registration in India
There are a few reasons why people prefer LLP registration in India over the inclusion of Private Limited Company. LLPs are considered to be easy to set up and a flexible business approach. Entrepreneurs find it possible to start their own organization as it has no problems compared to the day-to-day operations. Here, we look at the various benefits of LLP.
Low registration costs: The cost of registering an LLP in India is low compared to that of a limited public or private limited company. You can register for LLP with AK taxes for just 7899.
No small contribution: No LLP can be built with the least amount of money possible, there is no need for a small amount of money in LLP installations.
There are no restrictions on business owners: LLP requires at least 2 partners but there is no such limit for the maximum number of partners. Although in a limited private company there are limits to having more than 200 members.
No mandatory audit requirement: Whether a company is public or private regardless of the amount of shares it is expected that its account will be audited. But here in the case of LLP, there is no such mandatory requirement and this is considered one of the key compliance benefits of building an LLP. A company with limited liability should conduct its research in only two cases.
- If the contribution of LLP exceeds Rs. 25 lakh (or) If the annual profit for LLPs exceeds Rs. 40 lakh.
Tax feature on LLP: LLP is responsible for the payment of income tax and the partner share is tax-free. Thus, no Dividend Distribution Tax (DDT) is payable.
Why choose LLP over Partnership?
The main purpose of introducing LLP in India is to introduce a type of business that offers limited liability to owners and is relatively easy to manage and hassle-free. It is one of the Cooperative firms. Here, we look at the major differences between LLP and co-operative firms.
For AK taxes LLP registration can be done online for only Rs.7899, while co-registration can be done for only Rs.5899.
In LLP partners are not responsible for external lenders. Therefore, partners are responsible for the level of their contribution to LLP. On the contrary, in the case of a co-operative firm the partners have a direct obligation to the lenders. As a result entrepreneurs may deny that they are partners in a co-operative. In LLP partners enjoy limited liability protection.
LLP and both cooperative firms must have at least 2 partners. However, there is no upper limit on the number of partners in LLP. In the event that the number of partners decreases to less than 2 in the partnership for any reason the company will be dissolved. Although in the case of LLP if the number of partners drops below 2, one partner can find a new partner without breaking the LLP.
LLP can change its registered office and open a bank account anywhere in India as it is registered under the Ministry of Business Affairs of India.
The registrar of firms that register co-operatives owned by the state government. Therefore, it is very tedious to operate or deploy all of India and Cooperative firms.
LLP subsistence does not depend on its partners. LLP partners may change over time, but that will not affect the presence, continuity, or performance of LLP.
In the case of a Co-operative firm, the cancellation or death of any spouse will have significant consequences and the Partnership will have to be re-established.
Members can be added to the LLP during compilation or posting. The following people can be partners in LLP:
- Individuals
- Limited credit partnership
- Companies
- External Limited Debt Partnerships
- Foreign Companies
- Agreement
An LLP agreement must be made and filed within 30 days of the LLP submission. If the LLP fails to enter into an agreement, there is no agreement and the First Schedule to the LLP Act will govern the relationship between the partners and the LLP.
In the event that there is a written agreement and no detailed declaration regarding any of the matters referred to in the first schedule, such matters will be dealt with in the first schedule.
What makes an LLP different from a Private Limited Company?
Entrepreneurs who start a new business are always curious to know the difference between a Private Limited Company and an LLP, as both offer similar features. Here is a comparison between Private Limited Company and LLP from the perspective of an entrepreneur starting a new business.
Registration process: The Private Limited Company registration and LLP registration processes are very similar in some respects to the documents and forms filed for submission.
The following are the steps involved in the installation of Private Limited Company and LLP.
- Obtaining Digital Signature Certificates (DSC) for the proposed directors
- Obtain the Director’s ID number (DIN) of the proposed directors
- Obtaining name approval from the MCA.
- Application for inclusion.
- Both LLP and Private Limited are registered with the Department of Corporate Affairs under Central Government. The processing time for the installation of both private and public limited companies takes approximately 15-20 working days.
Registration Fees: LLPs are designed to meet the needs of small businesses and therefore, the cost of LLP installation is cheaper compared to that of Private Limited Company. LLP registration requires a small number of documents that need to be printed on Non-Justice stamp paper compared to Private Limited Company registration. At AK Tax Private Companies can be registered for just Rs.6899 online here.
Features: Similar features are provided by LLP and Private Limited Company. Both legal entities have different assets and liabilities from those of developers. Although both LLP and Private Limited may be transferable, Private Limited Company offers additional flexibility when it comes to transferring or sharing ownership. Unless the closure promoters or competent authority both the Private Limited Company and the LLP have eternal life.
Ownership: In LLP partners have the ownership and power to manage and control the LLP. Therefore, the Partner in LLP will play a very important role as it will play the role of both owners and manager. Accordingly, flexibility is provided to developers by Private Limited Company when it comes to ownership and sharing ownership.
Compliance: For LLP and Private Limited Company Tax compliance is the same. LLPs enjoy a few benefits when it comes to Compliance with the Department of Business Affairs. LLP does not require its account to be audited if the annual profit of LLP is less than Rs. 40 lakh and the maximum contribution does not exceed Rs. 25 lakh. However, the LLP will be required to complete LLP Form 8 and LLP form 11. In contrast, Private Limited Company will be required to file an annual return to the Ministry of Corporate Affairs each year.
Foreign Ownership of LLP
Amendments to FDI regulation dated 10 November 2015, 100% FDI is now approved by default. 100% FDI is allowed in sectors and operations where 100% FDI is allowed and no FDI-related operating conditions. Therefore, outsiders can now start or invest in LLP.
Government approval was needed before 2015 to invest in LLP by NRIs and outsiders. Thus, the process of LLP implantation by NRIs and outsiders was complicated and costly. Therefore, NRIs and outsiders prefer company registration over LLP. But now, with the relaxation of FDI procedures NRI and outsiders can easily register their LLPs.
Visit AK taxes.com if you are an NRI or a foreigner who wants to start an LLP. We offer LLP registration to NRIs and outsiders from Rs. 8000.
