Can a Designated Partner in an LLP (India) Possess No Ownership

A limited liability partnership, or LLP, combines the advantages of a company's limited liability with the freedom of a partnership. The LLP may continue to operate even if its partners change. The LLP can enter into contracts and hold assets in its own name. 


A separate legal entity, the LLP is liable for its assets in full, but the liabilities of its partners are limited to their agreed-upon investment. Because no partner is accountable for the actions of his or her fellow partners, partners are protected from joint liability as a result of another partner's unlawful business practices or misconduct.


The Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008 governs LLPs. Each limited liability partnership india must include at least two partners, with two individuals serving as designated partners who take care of day-to-day operations. The designated partners must provide the consent letter. A partner or designated partner may be changed, removed, or added after being assigned.


What Are the Requirements to Become a Designated Partner in an LLP?


  • LLP members can be Indian nationals or foreign citizens who are living in India. 
  • Each LLP must have at least one Indian national as a designated partner. 
  • There are no age restrictions for becoming a designated partner, and individuals who have been flagged as payment defaulters by creditors such as private lenders cannot be chosen. 
  • The LLP-based firm model allows for individuals to be designated partners. Only people can become designated partners in the LLP, not private organisations, businesses, or other active companies.


What Documents You Must Provide from a Designated Partner


  • DIN of designated partner
  • Name proof and address proof of the person to be appointed 
  • PAN of the designated partner 
  • Consent to act as designated partner (in Form-9)
  • Details of any other partnerships/directorship, if engaged in any.


Can an LLP Designated Partner Handle No Ownership?


When a company is a partner in an LLP and has a nominee partner acting on its behalf, it is usually a sign that a designated partner does not own or contribute capital to the LLP.
