    I have registered LLP with capital contribution of Rs. 40 Lakhs and paid stamp duty of Rs 10,000. Now, LLP wishes to increase the capital contribution to say 1 cr. Since LLP has already paid the maximum stamp duty of Rs. 10,000. Is there any need to pay further stamp duty. And how should the supplementary Partnership agreement be executed?

  2. Baby Jhanwar says:

    Registered a LLP with total contribution of 500000 with the same mentioned in LLP agreement can the designated partners contribute only 200000 in the LLP bank Account.
    is the Obligation of a partner to contribute is a authorise share capital of company or paid up sahre capital

    1. No, the partners have to contribute the whole amount otherwise the partner’s capital to be shown in Balance sheet will be Rs 200000/- which is not in-line with the LLP agreement and MCA master database.

  3. Baby Jhawar says:

    Threshold limit for LLP audit of 25 lacs is to be applied on contribution.
    For this purpose, contribution is to be interpreted as initial contribution as mentioned in the LLP agreement or contribution amount as on the end of FY.
    Please assist on the above .

    Greetings Ma’am

    I have a query..Please resolve.
    We have a LLP and contibution of partners increase or decrease due to admission/resignation of partners.
    How to reflect this contribution?
    One year it can be 100000 or another year it can be 90000.
    It will remains fixed or will it change?

  13. Ankitha says:

    Can a LLP exist for two years without actually receiving any contribution from its partners? There is only obligation towards contribution for Rs.100000/- as per LLP agreement. Further, there is no financial transactions also in the LLP.

  14. KAMAL JAIN says:

    One Private Limited Company is converted into LLP having share Premium and reserve of Rs.1.50 crore. The contribution of Partners is Rs.10 Lac. As the contribution is less than Rs.25 Lac, is it required to get itself audited as its reserve are Rs.1.50 cr.

  15. Sreelakshmi says:

    Ma’am,
    For an LLP, if the capital contribution is less than 25 lakhs, audit is not required..
    So, my doubt is how to ascertain capital contribution?
    Is it the closing balance or the annual contribution received..?

  16. Amol K says:

    In case of LLP, if 2 partners do not want to share the financial liability or responsibility, then is it possible for them to still get profit share at high percentage..Of contribution is 90:5:5 ratio..As the 3 rd partner has brought in all funds and the project allotted is on account of the first two partners..Hence these partners want to take money /share and leave..
    .

  17. Alok says:

    One of the partner is not working / contributing towards business activities (not a sleeping partner) and not willing to resign. So does not want to work but wants to eat his share of profit.

    How can the other two partners remove the 3rd partner legally ? What is the procedure. The LLP agreement does not have any specific mention on this. Please advise what legal actions can be taken.

  18. Srikar S says:

    Hi Mam, Can the partner bring in stock of books to LLP in the form of partner’s capital?? If yes, whether any form is required to be filed?
    (the stock of books value is 2 Lacs & within the present capital contribution limit). Please help.

    In LLP can partners take their contribution back with out resignation and death ? is there any provisions with respect to this

  21. Prateek garg says:

    A partner may bring in money either as contribution or as unsecured loan. which option is better.

    In a project of around Rs. 2 crores would it be better to register the LLP with entire amount of 2 crore as contribution or register the LLP with a lesser amount of contribution say Rs. 10 Lakh and later bring in balance amount as unsecured loan from Partners to LLP

  22. Nidhi Parekh says:

    In LLP at the time of incorporation partners informed contribution 50000 each but one partner has deposited 25000 only. What should be done in such case.
    Also can partners frequently deposit amount in LLPs current account for business purpose. Is the LLP required to file 3 for increase in contribution even though partners deposit amount for day to day activities

  23. Nidhi Parekh says:

    In LLP at the time of incorporation it was mentioned partners will be contribute 50000 each However out of both partners one partner has contributed 25000. What should be done in this case?
    Also can partners deposit money in LLPs current account for business purpose frequently for business purpose for that is LLP required to file form 3 for increase in contribution

  24. Sahil says:

    Dear Mam..
    I’m planning to open an LLP. If I select that my capital contribution would be a total of 10,000/- ie. 5000/- each. & the profit sharing would be 50-50 What does this mean actually.

    I need advice on the financial aspect kindly let me know how canni reach to you for Getting financial Advice.

    Regards

  25. Sahil says:

    After some days of incorporation of LLP within the Capital of Rs. 1 Lakh as stated in LLP Agreement, all the partners add 3-4 Lakhs in the bank account of LLP for more efficient working of LLP, Then again the agreement will be submitted or it will be OK?

  26. Neeraj Bhagat & Co. says:

    If the partner adds more capital into the Bank Account of LLP, that capital will be added to initial capital and profit sharing ratio will be adjusted according to new capital structure of the LLP.

  27. SOUMYAKANT DAS says:

    What if a partner introduced some more capital after few years? Will this amount be added to initial fund and profit sharing adjusted or the present valuation of the company is taken to consideration to distribute the ownership %

  28. Rohit Sharma says:

    Can the excess amount contributed by partner be shown as variable or fluctuating capital and the same can be treated as Reserve and Surplus while filing up Form 8 of the LLP??
    Please suggest.

    Thanks
