Change in LLP partners or designated partners, Form 4 (and Form 3)
What this means, checked by a CA
When a partner joins, leaves or changes details, the LLP must tell the MCA in Form 4 within 30 days, and file the changed LLP agreement in Form 3. We collect consents, draft the supplementary agreement and file both forms.

Questions people ask
Do we need both Form 3 and Form 4?
Form 4 reports the person. If the agreement changes too (contribution, shares, rights), Form 3 is also needed.
Can one designated partner resign leaving only one?
The LLP must keep at least two designated partners, one resident in India, so appoint a replacement.
What if we miss the 30 days?
File with additional fee. The ROC can also levy ₹10,000 penalty on the LLP and each designated partner.
Does a new designated partner need a DPIN?
A DIN is enough. Someone without one applies in DIR-3.
