Step 4: File LLP Incorporation Form

In this step, the application form for LLP which is called FiLLiP(Form for Incorporation of Limited Liability Partnership) is filled with the Registrar of Companies who has jurisdiction in the state where the LLP is registered.

This form also provides for the application of DPIN for all the designated partners. If the name is approved, then the same name can be used to apply for the application of LLP.

Step 5: Filing of LLP Agreement

An LLP agreement is an important document as it governs the rights and duties of all the designated partners in the LLP. The LLP agreement must be filed within 60 days of the LLP incorporation with the MCA.

After verification of all the submitted documents by the MCA, the Incorporation Certificate will be issued within 7-10 working days. By following the above-mentioned steps, you can easily form your LLP company in India.
