Can Partner receive money on behalf of LLP?

An LLP consists of an Indian and NRI partner which deals in export of service. 

The customers are all outside India. 
Now can the customers directly transfer foreign currency to NRI partner and then NRI partner deposits it in Indian LLP account. Is this legally and compliance wise correct?

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses whether an NRI partner in an Indian LLP can receive foreign currency payments directly from overseas clients, who are not tech-savvy enough for payment gateways. The consensus is that this is permissible under RBI norms, provided the LLP maintains meticulous records to substantiate the entire transaction process for compliance purposes.

As per RBI norms
Why can't customers directly transfer it to firm's account.
Yes can be done provided you maintain proper records to substantiate the entire process in case of any notice.

Even with a payment gateway set up, the customers aren't tech savy to pay through it. As most of the customers use a bank teller to transfer money.
