🔰 1. Introduction
A Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) is governed by the LLP Agreement—an essential legal document that outlines partners’ roles, duties, rights, and obligations. However, as businesses evolve, amendments to the LLP agreement may become necessary due to changes in capital contribution, profit-sharing ratio, partners, or business activity.
In 2025, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) mandates that any change to the LLP Agreement must be registered online within 30 days using Form 3.
