Best when
Role, contribution and authority are agreed
Partner, designated partner,
or both?
The title chosen changes compliance responsibility, while the agreement controls economic rights.
Working partner
Set duties, authority, contribution and profit participation.
Designated partner
Confirm consent, identification and statutory responsibility.
Non-resident applicant
Plan residency composition and overseas document formalities.
Changed economics
Update contribution, profit share and linked agreement terms.
Partner change
Role. Rights. Responsibility. Record.
A designation is not a profit-sharing formula.
The LLP agreement sets economic rights; designated-partner status carries separate compliance duties.
What you receive,
ready to use.
We first establish whether the person is joining as a partner, a designated partner, or both—then align consent, partner approval, the LLP agreement and Registrar filings.

What must be

At least two designated partners will remain after the change, with at least one resident in India under current law.

Existing partners can approve admission under the current LLP agreement.

Choose by responsibility and economics
One person can hold both roles, but they are not interchangeable.

|---|---|---|---|
| Primary position | Agreement-based rights | Statutory compliance role | Economic and statutory role |
| Identification | Role-specific KYC | DPIN and DSC readiness | Both sets of records |
| Core filing | Form 4; Form 3 if terms change | Form 4 and consent | Linked Form 4 and Form 3 where amended |
