Important features of

Limited Limited Partnership

The Ministry of Corporate Affairs- a Central government Ministry is primarily concerned with administration of the Companies Act 2013, the Companies Act 1956, the Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008 & other allied Acts and rules & regulations framed thereunder, mainly for regulating the functioning of the corporate sector in accordance with law.

Separate Legal Entity

The LLP has a distinct identity of a legal juristic person with it own PAN. It is separate from its partners.

Perpetual

A limited liability partnership shall have perpetual succession.

Liability

The word ‘limited’ is used to convey the message to public at large that the liability of the LLP and it Partners, is limited- Any change in the partners of limited liability partnership shall not affect the existence, rights or liabilities of the limited liability partnership. The LLP is a separate legal entity, is liable to the full extent of its assets but liability of the partners is limited to their agreed contribution in the LLP. Further, no partner is liable on account of the independent or un-authorised actions of other partners, thus individual partners are shielded from joint liability created by another partner’s wrongful business decisions or misconduct. Mutual rights and duties of the partners within a LLP are governed by an agreement between the partners or between the partners and the LLP as the case may be. The LLP, however, is not relieved of the liability for its other obligations as a separate entity
