Overview
In a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP), partners are the core pillars who manage business operations, contribute capital, and share profits and losses. However, situations may arise where an existing partner needs to be removed from the LLP. This may happen due to voluntary resignation, retirement, mutual agreement, incapacity, misconduct, or even death. Removing a partner is a formal legal process governed by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, and it must be done carefully to avoid disputes and future liabilities.
When a partner exits, their name must be removed from the LLP agreement, and the revised agreement must be filed with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA). All existing partners must give their consent, and the outgoing partner should provide a resignation letter or a consent deed confirming their exit. The LLP must also settle their capital contribution, profit share, or any dues as per the terms of the LLP agreement. After this, the necessary forms are filed with the Registrar of Companies, and once approved, the removal becomes legally effective.
It is important to complete this process correctly because until the removal is legally recorded, the outgoing partner can still be considered liable for the actions of the LLP. This can lead to disputes, financial claims, or legal complications in the future. Proper documentation ensures clarity of roles and safeguards the interests of both the LLP and the outgoing partner.
