Change in Object Clauses of LLP

Introduction

For LLPs looking to realign their focus or expand into new areas, changing the object of LLP is a crucial step. It requires careful planning of legal procedure while going to adapt a new market demand or exploring new opportunities or modifying the LLP’s objectives. This process includes several stages including arranging board resolution for change in object clauses of llp, making changes in amendment or arranging partners consent. Understanding the steps involved and the documentation required can help ensure a smooth transition and keep your business on track for future growth. In this article you’ll get complete insights related to change in object for LLPs.

Object Change in LLP

Every LLP has its own certain object to achieve and they are required to specify these objects before starting its working. In case of any change in object or addition of any supplementary object, it is required to change by using form 3. However, these LLP can not change their main object clause from one field to another but they can add the supplementary object clause to the main clause mentioned as per NIC code.

For Example: If a LLP mentioned its main object as construction of waterways and then decided to expand their LLP by including construction of dams as a supplementary object. In this case they are allowed to change or add any additional supplementary object. But if the LLP decides to start a wholesale work of sugarcane then in this case they can’t add or change this object as their main object.

It is because a LLP is allowed to add or change the supplementary object for the LLP within the same group or category as per NIC code. However, they are not allowed to change their object completely.

In order to make any change or addition of new objectives, LLP is required to check the NIC code list and later approve these changes with the Registrar of Company (ROC). LLPs can not carry out any business activity which are not mentioned in the agreement. However, in order to perform those activities, you need to follow a procedure to approve these changes with ROC.

Documents required to change the objective of llp

While changing the objective of a llp, you need certain documents to get approval from ROC. Following are the documents required to change the objective of llp:

• Object Change Resolution: A resolution for change in object clauses of llp must be prepared and signed by all the partners. It should clearly state the objective of the llp.
• Supplementary LLP Agreement for Object Change: A supplementary LLP Agreement must be amended outlining the duties, rights and obligation. This document must be signed by all the partners and designated partners as well.
• Form-3 filing: Form-3 is required in order to change the LLP object. This form typically includes the details of LLPs, partners, and the revised object. While submitting the form make sure the form is completed and signed.
• Payment Receipt: The receipt of MCA fees payment works as an evidence of payment and should be kept for future reference. So, it will be recommended to keep the copies of these payment receipts.

Procedure for change in object clause of llp

The Procedure for supplementary change in object clause of LLP includes certain steps. These Steps are as follow:

Step 01: Board Resolution: The first step is to pass a resolution at the board meeting to approve the supplementary object clauses. Designated Partners are authorized to sign, certify and file the required form with ROC. Designated Partners can fix a specific date, time and venue in order to organize any ordinary General Meeting.

Step 02: Amendment of Resolution: Once the resolution is passed, an amendment to the LLP agreement is mandatory by using form 3. The changes should clearly outline the revised object of the LLP. It would be advised to review with the National Industrial Classification Code (NIC Code) list and approve the changes before approving for proceeding.

Step 03: Partner’s Consent: In order to change the supplementary object of LLP, partners consent is needed. All the partners of the llp are required to submit written consent as it ensures that the partners are aware of all the modifications or updates made in the agreement.

Step 04: Filing with the Registrar: The LLP Supplementary Agreement must be filed within 30 days of execution through Form 3 (Information with regard to Limited Liability Partnership Agreement and changes, if any, made therein) along with the prescribed fees.
