Changes in llp agreement

17 March 2016

We need to add a new partner in a LLP. A partner (not a designated partner). I want to know on how much stamp paper the supplementary deed needs to be printed on. The capital of the LLP is 1 Lakh and is incorporated in Maharashtra. Also, which forms need to be filed and what documents need to be prepared

Form 3 LLP is to be filed for supplementary agreement and Form 4 LLP is to be filed for Appointment of Designated Partner. On the amount of Rs. 1000 stamp Paper is required. In Form 3 LLP attached the Supplementary Agreement. No attachment is required in Form 3 LLP
