Indian Government Tightens Limited Liability Partnership Disclosure Requirements

The Indian government has enforced more stringent disclosure regulations for Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs), requiring the upkeep of a registry of partners that encompasses information on their contributions and beneficial interests, both material and immaterial.

A Novel Regulatory Structure

On October 28, 2023, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) published the Limited Liability Partnership (Third Amendment) Rules, 2023. These regulations require that, within 30 days of incorporation, even recently formed limited liability companies (LLPs) keep a register of partners at their registered offices.

Advancing Openness

Given the spike in company and partnership firm incorporations during the current fiscal year, this regulation change attempts to improve transparency in the operations of limited liability partnerships (LLPs) in India.

Items in the Registry

The following information must be included in the partners' register:

1.      Business address, email address, and permanent account number are examples of both personal and professional information.

2.      Contributions' nature: Describe any material, immaterial, mobile, stationary, or other advantages provided to the LLP. This includes money, promissory notes, pledges of property or cash, contracts for services rendered that have a monetary value, and any other interests.

3.      Updates: Within seven days, any modifications to the register entries must be made.

Certificates of Beneficial Interest

·        Within thirty days of being added to the register of partners, partners who do not have a beneficial interest in contributions are required to notify the LLP of this.

·        Persons who are not identified as partners but have beneficial interests in contributions made by the LLP must notify the LLP within 30 days of their interest. They must describe their interest in full and give the names of the partners under whose names their contributions are recorded in the LLP's records.

·        Partner declarations must be entered into the register by the LLP within 30 days.

·        A partner must be chosen by each limited liability partnership (LLP) to be in charge of providing the Registrar of Companies or other authorized offices with information on beneficial interests. Each partner is responsible for providing this information on an individual basis until such a partner is designated.

Record-Shattering Corporate Formations

A record number of companies and LLPs were incorporated in the first half of the fiscal year, coinciding with this regulatory development. Between April and September, India added 120,966 new firms and LLPs, an increase of 11.4% over the same period last year. This increase is indicative of rising confidence in India's business climate.
