About Add or Remove LLP Partner — Form 3 & Form 4
A clear overview, in simple terms — what it is, why it matters, and how we handle it.
Any admission, retirement or change in designation of an LLP partner is reported to the Registrar in Form 4 within 30 days, with the partner's consent. The supplementary LLP agreement recording the change — new profit ratio, contribution or rights — is filed in Form 3 within 30 days. An LLP must always have at least two designated partners, one of them resident in India. Late filing attracts an additional fee of ₹100 per day per form.
Partner changes go wrong most often in the paperwork that follows: the LLP agreement isn't amended, contribution changes aren't recorded, or an outgoing partner's dues aren't settled in writing. Each of these shows up later in disputes or in tax scrutiny of capital accounts.
We draft the supplementary agreement, file Forms 4 and 3, update the GST registration and bank mandates, and check the tax effect of payments to retiring partners — amounts above a partner's capital balance can be taxed in the LLP's hands under Section 45(4).
