LLP in short:
- Legal Framework: Under Section 3 of the LLP Act, 2008, an LLP is incorporated as a body corporate, meaning it’s a separate legal entity distinct from its partners. This gives it the limited liability feature of a company—partners are not personally liable for the LLP’s debts beyond their agreed contribution.
- Partnership Elements: Unlike a company, an LLP offers flexibility in internal management, similar to a partnership firm. Partners can define their roles, profit-sharing, and operations through the LLP Agreement, without the rigid compliance requirements of the Companies Act, 2013.
- Hybrid Nature: This blend of corporate (limited liability, perpetual succession) and partnership (flexibility, fewer regulatory burdens) structures makes LLPs a unique business form, often referred to as a “hybrid.”
The Technical Guide is relevant for the purpose of preparation of the financial statements of the Limited Liability Partnership in compliance with applicable accounting standards.
