What the agreement governs, how a change is executed, and why LLPs choose LegalWiz.in to draft the deed.
The LLP agreement is the fundamental document that governs the LLP and its operations as a whole. The partners have to abide by the clauses it lays down and cannot act beyond the scope it draws. It can be changed at any time after incorporation, by the mutual agreement of the partners.
The commonest reasons to change one are a change in activities, in capital, or in the rights and responsibilities of the partners.
Whatever the clause, the change is made by executing a supplementary agreement as an addendum to the original. It is executed on payment of the required stamp duty, and the change has to be notified to the Registrar within 30 days of the change or of the execution of the supplementary deed.
Your relationship manager and the drafting team handle everything below. You supply the documents once and approve the deed before it is executed.
Government fees are charged at actuals. ₹100 of stamp duty is included in the package; where the change involves a capital contribution, the additional stamp duty is payable separately at the rate the state prescribes.
The deed is prepared by the professionals and confirmed by the partners before anything is paid or signed.
The appropriate stamp duty has to be paid on the agreement, at the rate the state prescribes.
All the partners and designated partners have to sign, which is what records their approval for the change.
A notary is not required in every state. Where it is, UP and Delhi among them, it is mandatory.
An LLP cannot undertake activities that are not included in its agreement, so changing what the business does means modifying the agreement first. Activities can be added, a new product line for instance, or removed where they have been discontinued.
Capital is the most crucial need of a business and usually has to grow with it. The capital-sharing ratio and the profit and loss sharing ratio are interlinked from the partners’ point of view, and changing either or both requires a supplementary deed.
With the partners and their status left intact, their rights and responsibilities can still be changed to suit their roles. Administrative powers, and restrictions on particular activities, are what such a change usually covers.
Jurisdiction, the terms of resignation, the notice period, the conditions of appointment and removal, the duration of the partnership and more can all be changed as the partners and the business require. Clauses can be added, altered or deleted.

Once the deed has been prepared by the professionals and confirmed by the partners, the appropriate stamp duty is paid on it.
All the partners and designated partners then sign, which records their approval for the change. The deed is notarised where that is required.
It depends on the capital contribution involved in the change, and the rates vary from state to state.
Where the change does not involve any capital contribution, the supplementary deed is executed on payment of ₹100 towards stamp duty, which is included in the package cost. Stamp duty above that is payable separately.
Once it has been executed by the partners it has to be filed with the MCA for approval.
