The Limited Liability Partnership Rules, 2009 were notified on 01.04.2009. As on 08-08-2011, 5883 LLPs are registered all over India. The Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) is an alternative corporate business vehicle that provides the benefits of limited liability but allows its members the flexibility of organizing their internal structure as a partnership based on a mutually arrived agreement. The salient features of LLP Act, 2008, inter alia, are as follows: 1. It is a body corporate with separate legal entity from its partners. The mutual rights and duties of the partners of an LLP are governed by LLP Agreement. 2. LLP is liable to the extent of its assets. Partner’s liability is limited to the extent of agreed contribution (capital) in the LLP Agreement. 3. No partner is liable on account of the independent or unauthorized action of other partners or for their misconduct. 4. Every LLP should have at least two partners with at least two individuals as “designated partners”, of whom at least one must be resident in India. Only designated partners are responsible for compliance with the Act. 5. A firm, private company or an unlisted public company can be converted into LLP. 6. The Act empowers Central Government to apply provisions of the Companies Act, 1956 as appropriate, by notification with such changes as deemed necessary, in the LLP Act, 2008. 7.
