Partner Consent
Written consent of all partners to shift the registered office — documented in a supplemental LLP agreement.
Amended LLP Agreement
Supplemental LLP agreement reflecting the new state address — required for Form 3 filing.
Form 15 Filing
Form 15 (Notice of Change of Registered Office) filed with MCA within 30 days of the shift.
Form 3 Filing
Form 3 filed with MCA to amend the LLP agreement — since the address change affects the agreement clauses.
Newspaper Publication
Public notice published in an English and a vernacular newspaper in both the current and new states.
Other Registration Updates
GST, bank accounts and other registrations updated to reflect the new state address.
What is needed for shifting registered office of llp
All Partner Consent
All partners must consent in writing to the interstate shift — no unilateral action by a designated partner.
LLP Agreement Amendment
Supplemental LLP agreement executed to update the registered office address — filed via Form 3.
Form 15 Within 30 Days
Form 15 must be filed with MCA within 30 days of the change taking effect.
Newspaper Notice in Both States
Notice of the proposed shift must be published in one English and one vernacular newspaper in each state.
Form 3 for Agreement Change
Since the LLP agreement typically contains the address, Form 3 amendment is mandatory alongside Form 15.
GST & Other Registrations
GST registration, bank accounts and all state-specific registrations must be updated in the new state.
Unlike companies, LLPs shifting to another state do not require Regional Director approval. However, the newspaper publication in both states is mandatory, and both Form 15 and Form 3 must be filed simultaneously. Missing either creates a mismatch on MCA records.
