LLP Registration in Delhi: Process, Fees, Stamp Duty & ROC Update
Delhi has a large base of consultancies, trading firms, media and design studios, and professional practices that choose the LLP form. An LLP gives them a separate legal entity with a partnership-based management structure and a compliance framework that differs from a company's. In 2026, MCA also split the Delhi Registrar of Companies, which changes which ROC your LLP falls under.
At a glance: LLP registration in Delhi needs at least two partners and at least two designated partners who are individuals, with at least one designated partner meeting the LLP Act's resident-in-India requirement. The LLP must have a valid registered office address in Delhi. Incorporation is filed electronically with MCA, and the LLP agreement must be stamped as required and filed in Form 3 within 30 days of incorporation. An indicative timeline is around 7–15 working days, depending on document readiness, name approval, any resubmission and MCA processing.

What Is an LLP?
A Limited Liability Partnership is a body corporate registered under the Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008, with perpetual succession and a legal identity separate from its partners. The LLP is generally liable for its own obligations. A partner is generally not personally liable solely because they are a partner, but personal liability can arise for the partner's own wrongful act or omission, and the statutory protection does not shield fraudulent conduct. For the full details, see LLP registration in India.
Pros and Cons of an LLP for Delhi Businesses
Pros:
- Partners are generally not liable for each other's wrongful acts.
- No minimum capital is prescribed, so a two-person practice can start small.
- There are no board meetings, AGMs or mandatory audits below the Rule 24(8) thresholds.
- Profit sharing and roles are set by your own LLP agreement.
- The LLP survives if a partner leaves or dies.
Cons:
- Raising venture or angel equity is hard, and ESOPs are not available.
- Form 11 and Form 8 are due every year, even in a year with no income.
- Banks and large clients sometimes ask for extra partner guarantees.
Eligibility for LLP Registration in Delhi
|
Requirement |
Rule |
|
Partners |
Minimum 2, no upper limit. Individuals or body corporates |
|
Designated partners |
At least two designated partners, who must be individuals. At least one must be resident in India. |
|
Registered office |
A valid registered-office address in Delhi, supported by the address proof, owner's NOC and other documents MCA prescribes |
|

|
Name |

Resident designated partner: at least one of the designated partners must be resident in India. For Section 7 of the LLP Act, that means the person has stayed in India for at least 120 days during the financial year.
Delhi vs NCR addresses: an office in Gurugram, Faridabad, Noida or Ghaziabad is not a Delhi registered office. From 16 February 2026, Haryana has its own ROC, and Uttar Pradesh districts were also reorganised into two ROCs. The registered office address decides which ROC your LLP falls under.
Documents Required for LLP Registration in Delhi
- Partners: PAN (required for Indian individual partners and designated partners, as applicable); Aadhaar, passport, voter ID or driving licence; recent address proof such as a bank statement or utility bill; a photograph; email and mobile number for DSC and MCA OTP. Foreign partners also need a passport and overseas address proof, notarised or apostilled as required.
- Registered office in Delhi: registered-office proof, such as ownership or lease documents and a recent address proof, along with the owner's NOC and the other documents MCA prescribes, as applicable. For a co-working seat, the provider's agreement and NOC.
Step-by-Step LLP Registration Process in Delhi
- Digital Signature Certificates (DSC): each designated partner who signs an MCA filing needs a valid DSC.
- Name reservation: reserve the LLP name through RUN-LLP, or as permitted within FiLLiP.
- FiLLiP filing on MCA V3 with partner details, contribution, office proof and consents. DPINs for designated partners who don't already hold a DIN/DPIN are allotted through FiLLiP.
- MCA processing: MCA examines the application. If it raises a query or asks for resubmission, the applicant responds through the MCA system.
- Incorporation: Once approved, the LLP receives its Certificate of Incorporation and LLPIN. PAN and TAN are allotted through the integrated process, subject to successful processing.
- LLP agreement: draft it, pay the applicable Delhi stamp duty through the permitted stamping or e-stamping mechanism, get it signed by all partners, and file Form 3 within 30 days of incorporation.
- Post-incorporation setup: open a current account and complete the registrations that apply to your business (see below).
The 7–15 working-day figure is an indicative service timeline, not an MCA-guaranteed processing period.

Which ROC Handles Your Delhi LLP?
2026 Delhi ROC change: From 16 February 2026, MCA reorganised the former ROC Delhi, which covered both the NCT of Delhi and Haryana. Delhi LLPs are now mapped to ROC NCT of Delhi-I or ROC NCT of Delhi-II according to the district of their registered office, and Haryana has its own ROC.

Registrations and Licences After LLP Incorporation
|
Registration/compliance |
When it applies |
|
Delhi Shops and Establishments |
Depends on the law currently in force. The Delhi Shops and Establishments (Amendment) Act, 2026, notified on 11 March 2026, proposes to limit the Act to establishments employing 20 or more employees, but it comes into force only on a date the Delhi Government separately notifies. Check the current commencement status before deciding applicability |
|
GST |
Where registration becomes mandatory under GST law, based on turnover, the nature and place of supply, and other compulsory-registration provisions. See GST registration. |
|
IEC |
For applicable import/export activities under DGFT rules. See IEC registration. |
|
Udyam (MSME) |
Optional. See MSME registration. |
|
Trade, health or municipal licence |
Where the particular business activity, premises or trade requires one |
How Your Delhi LLP Is Taxed
An LLP pays tax as a firm at a flat 30% of total income. A 12% surcharge applies when income exceeds ₹1 crore, and 4% health and education cess is added. The share of profit you receive as a partner is not taxed again in your hands. Remuneration and interest paid to working partners are deductible only within the limits of the Income-tax law and your LLP agreement. The return is ITR-5.
Annual Compliance for LLPs in Delhi

Compliance |
Due date |
Notes |

30 May |
CS certification generally applies where turnover exceeds ₹5 crore or contribution exceeds ₹50 lakh. See LLP Form 11 filing. |

Under Rule 24(8) of the LLP Rules, an LLP is exempt from statutory audit if its turnover does not exceed ₹40 lakh or its contribution does not exceed ₹25 lakh. So, the audit requirement applies only when both thresholds are exceeded. An LLP may also opt for a voluntary audit. Income-tax audit is a separate test. |
|
ITR-5 |
The income-tax due date that applies |
Depends on tax-audit and transfer-pricing status. Check the current CBDT deadlines. See income tax return filing. |
|
DIN/DPIN KYC |
Once every three consecutive financial years, by 30 June of the applicable year |
Changes to mobile number, email or residential address need an event-based update within the prescribed period |
|
Event-based MCA filings |
Within the period prescribed for the event |
Form 3 (agreement change), Form 4 (partner change) and Form 15 (registered-office change) are each due within 30 days. Other events have their own rules. See LLP forms on MCA V3. |
Late filing attracts additional MCA fees that rise with the length of delay, with lower multiples for small LLPs. For a managed plan, see our LLP annual filing service.
Common Registration Mistakes
|
Mistake |
How to avoid it |
|
Using a Gurugram or Noida office as a "Delhi" registered office |
Use the actual registered-office address. NCR addresses outside Delhi fall under different ROCs |
|
Stamp paper bought at a flat low value for a larger contribution |
Work out the duty on the contribution and verify it before execution |
|
Address proof out of date, or in a different name from the NOC |
Use recent address proof and a matching NOC |
|
LLP agreement filed after 30 days |
File Form 3 on time. Late filing attracts additional fees that rise with the delay |
|
Relying on the 20-employee Shops & Establishments threshold |
Check whether the 2026 amendment has come into force first |
LLP vs Private Limited Company vs OPC
|
Your situation |
Structure usually considered |

|
Existing partnership firm wanting limited liability |
Convert the firm to an LLP (Form 17). See partnership firm registration and conversion. |
