LLP Agreement Stamp Duty
An LLP agreement is
a document that lists the obligations, duties and mutual rights of partners in
an LLP. This agreement is to be made, and printed on non-judicial stamp paper.
Also, the clauses need to be discussed and agreed upon by all partners. As a
proof that all partners are fine with the clauses mentioned in the agreement,
they are required to sign the agreement and the same should be notarized.
As the LLP agreement states the essentials of
the partnership, this needs to be prepared and filed within 30 days of
incorporation of an LLP. The Ministry of Corporate Affairs may levy a heavy
fine of Rs. 100 per day, with no cap, for non-compliance. Hence, Preparing an
LLP agreement and submitting it within the required due date is essential to
escape the non-compliance clause.
Each state has different rules on the value of
stamp paper for printing the LLP agreement, and it depends upon the capital
contribution by each partner.
