FAQ
1. What is the primary benefit of converting a Partnership Firm to an LLP?
The primary benefit of converting a Partnership Firm into an LLP is the limited liability protection it offers. In an LLP, the personal assets of the partners are protected from business liabilities, which is not the case in a traditional partnership.
2. How long does it take to convert a Partnership Firm into an LLP?
The conversion process typically takes about 15-20 working days, depending on the timely submission of all required documents and approvals from the Registrar of Companies (RoC).
3. Will the assets and liabilities of the Partnership Firm automatically transfer to the LLP?
Yes, upon conversion, all the assets and liabilities of the Partnership Firm automatically transfer to the LLP without the need for separate transfer deeds or stamp duty.
4. Is there any capital gains tax on the conversion of a Partnership Firm to an LLP?
No, there is no capital gains tax on the transfer of assets from a Partnership Firm to an LLP, making it a tax-efficient option for businesses looking to convert.
5. Do I need to apply for new licenses and permits after conversion to LLP?
Yes, after conversion, you may need to reapply for certain licenses and permits in the name of the new LLP, as these are typically non-transferable from the old entity.
6. Can a Partnership Firm with pending liabilities convert to an LLP?
Yes, a Partnership Firm with pending liabilities can convert to an LLP, but it is essential to obtain the consent of all unsecured creditors before proceeding with the conversion to ensure there are no legal issues.
7. What happens to the brand value and goodwill of the Partnership Firm after conversion?
The brand value and goodwill of the Partnership Firm are automatically transferred to the LLP, ensuring continuity in the business's market presence and reputation.
8. Is it mandatory to draft a new LLP Agreement during the conversion?
Yes, it is mandatory to draft an LLP Agreement during the conversion process. This agreement outlines the rights, duties, and profit-sharing ratios of the partners in the newly formed LLP.
9. What documents are required for the conversion process?
The documents required for the conversion process include the PAN card, identity proof, and address proof of partners, business address proof, NOC from the property owner, and ROF certificate if the Partnership Firm is registered.
10. Can an LLP be converted back into a Partnership Firm?
No, once a Partnership Firm is converted into an LLP, it cannot be reverted back to a Partnership Firm. The LLP remains a separate legal entity with its own set of legal requirements.
11. Will the existing contracts and agreements of the Partnership Firm continue after conversion?
Yes, existing contracts and agreements can continue after the conversion, but it is advisable to update them to reflect the new entity's name to avoid any legal discrepancies.
12. How does the conversion affect the taxation of the business?
The LLP will be taxed as a partnership, but without the requirement to pay Dividend Distribution Tax (DDT), which is an advantage over other corporate structures like private limited companies.
13. Do I need to inform the Registrar of Firms after converting to an LLP?
Yes, it is mandatory to inform the Registrar of Firms about the conversion within 15 days of receiving the Certificate of Incorporation for the LLP. This is done by filing Form-14 along with the necessary attachments.
