LLP partner removal is the legal process of removing an existing partner from an LLP. It involves obtaining partner consent or passing a resolution, updating the LLP Agreement, and filing Forms 3 & 4 with the ROC within the statutory timeline.
Overview
In an LLP, partners jointly manage the business. Sometimes, a partner may need to be removed due to resignation, conflict, or other business reasons. The removal process begins with reviewing the LLP Agreement and obtaining consent or passing a partner resolution. A supplementary LLP Agreement is then prepared to reflect the change. Finally, Form 3 (updating the LLP Agreement) and Form 4 (notifying the ROC of the partner’s cessation) are filed with the Registrar of Companies. Updating statutory records ensures legal compliance and clarifies the responsibilities and rights of the remaining partners.
Process
Step 1 - Check the director’s DIN before initiating removal.
Step 2 - Ensure the Articles of Association allow removal.
Step 3 – Approve the removal in a board meeting.
Step 4 – Inform the director and give an opportunity to be heard.
Step 5 – Pass an ordinary resolution in the general meeting.
Step 6 – Submit DIR-12 within 30 days of resolution.
Step 7 – Remove director from company records.
Step 8 – Download DIR-12 acknowledgment for records.
