ABOUT THIS PRACTICE
LLP and it’s operations are completely governed by a basic document called LLP Agreement . The partners are required to follow the clauses laid by it and must not do anything beyond the scope of this agreement . An LLP Agreement can be altered any time after incorporation with the mutual consent of the partners. Among various reasons, change in activities or capital or rights and responsibilities are main reasons that lead to change.
To alter any of the clauses, an additional agreement is executed as an appendix to the original agreement. It will be executed by payment of required stamp duty. Any change must be notified to the RoC (LLP) within 30 days of change or execution of the supplementary deed.
