THE ministry of corporate affairs has asked the Institute of Company Secretaries of India (ICSI) to suggest changes to make the limited liability partnership (LLP) model more suitable for the small and medium sector enterprises in the country.
Every individual or nominee of a body corporate who is intending to be appointed as designated partner of a limited liability partnership shall submit an application electronically to the Central Government for allotment of Designated Partner Identification Number ( DPIN) in the manner as provided in Form 7 along with fee as mentioned in Annexure ‘A’.
In recent times, Ministry of Corporate Affairs has taken a number of initiatives by introducing e-stamping with MCA-21 to further facilitate the e-registration of companies. It has also made the Competition Commission of India (CCI) and Competition Appellate Tribunal (CAT) functional. Limited Liability Partnership Act has been enacted and relevant rules issued.
Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008 (LLP Act) was passed by the Parliament in December, 2008. Some of the sections of the LLP Act were made effective on 1-4-2009. Sections relating to conversion of existing partnership firms and private as well as public unlisted companies into LLP have been brought into force on 31-5-2009. Sections relating to liquidation and winding up of LLP have not yet come into force. LLP Rules, 2009, have also been made and they have now come into force.
The issues of opening up of accountancy services in India and recognition to Indian accountancy professionals in the UK are likely to get a push at the forthcoming India-UK talks on Corporate Governance. The key issue will be the reciprocal recognition to the members of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) and its British counterpart.
The Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008 (‘the LLP Act’) was brought into force with effect from 31st March 2009 to permit formation of Limited Liability Partnerships (‘LLPs’) in India. The main focus of the LLP Act is to permit a partnership structure and at the same time, limit the liability of partners which was heretofore unlimited under the provisions of the Indian Partnership Act, 1932 (‘the Partnership Act’). This article discusses briefly the limitation of liability of partners under the LLP Act as compared to the limitation of liability of a shareholder of a limited company formed and registered under the Companies Act, 1956 (‘the Companies Act’) and the manner in which such liabilities are limited under the LLP Act.
The Budget 2009-10 has introduced the provisions regarding taxation aspect of the newly introduced form of business Limited Liability Partnership. As per the Budget 2009-10 a limited liability partnership (LLP) will be taxed on the same lines as partnership firms — this would mean taxation of profit in the hands of the entity; the partners will be exempted.

The government is working to bring limited liability partnerships (LLPs) within the scope of foreign direct investment guidelines, a move which will facilitate the inflow of overseas capital through a corporate structure that has just recently been allowed in India.
The Union Budget 2009 presented by the Hon’ble Finance Minister, Mr. Pranav Mukherjee , inter alia also provided the much awaited tax treatment for the new corporate business vehicle viz., Limited Liability Partnerships (LLP). With this proposal, the unclear picture surrounding the tax aspects of LLPs seems to have been cleared.
