Common questions

What is the government fee for LLP registration?

It depends on the contribution slab on the MCA fee table. We have not matched the FiLLiP fee to the MCA kit, so the amount is not officially verified. State stamp duty on the LLP agreement is extra.

LLP or private limited company, which is better?

An LLP has fewer yearly compliances than a company and partners have limited liability. A company can raise equity from investors more easily. Both register on the MCA portal.

Can I convert a partnership firm into an LLP?

Yes. The MCA allows conversion of an existing partnership firm into an LLP through the FiLLiP form together with the related conversion form.
