Understand The Conversion

What Is Company to LLP Conversion?

A company may, subject to applicable legal conditions, be converted into a Limited Liability Partnership under the LLP law and applicable MCA procedures.

Conversion into an LLP can be considered by businesses that want to operate with a partnership-based management structure while retaining the benefit of limited liability.

The conversion process is not simply a change of name. The existing company must satisfy the applicable statutory requirements, complete the prescribed MCA filings and provide the required information and documents.

For an eligible private company or unlisted public company, MCA's current incorporation process uses FiLLiP with Form 18 linked for the conversion.

Who Can Consider Conversion Into LLP?

Eligibility should be checked before preparing the MCA filing.

Private Company

An eligible private company can apply for conversion into LLP subject to the applicable provisions and MCA requirements.

Unlisted Public Company

Compliance-Ready Company

The company's MCA records, charges, filings and other applicable matters should be reviewed before initiating the conversion.

Section 8 Company

A Section 8 company is not eligible for this conversion route under the MCA instructions.

Partners & Shareholders

Shareholders, proposed partners and designated partners should be mapped correctly as per applicable LLP requirements.

Important: Eligibility is subject to the applicable LLP Act, Companies Act, MCA rules/forms and the company's specific circumstances. A detailed compliance review should be completed before filing.

Tax & Transfer

Tax & Business Transfer Considerations

Conversion should be reviewed not only from an MCA perspective but also from tax and operational angles.

Income Tax

Tax treatment should be evaluated under the applicable provisions and conditions before conversion.

GST

GST registration, business constitution and transfer implications should be reviewed separately.

Bank Accounts

Existing company bank arrangements may require appropriate closure, modification or new LLP banking arrangements.

Contracts

Customer, vendor, lease, loan and other agreements should be reviewed for assignment, novation or fresh documentation.

Licences

GST, Shops & Establishment, FSSAI, IEC, professional licences and other registrations may require updates or fresh registrations.

Accounting Records

Books, assets, liabilities, invoices and accounting records should be appropriately handled during the transition.

Tax note: Tax-neutral treatment, where available, is subject to specific statutory conditions. Conversion should therefore be reviewed with reference to the applicable Income-tax, GST and other laws before implementation.

After Conversion

Post-Conversion Compliance

Incorporation of the LLP is only one part of the transition.

LLP Agreement

Execute and maintain the LLP Agreement in accordance with applicable requirements.

Tax Registrations

Review PAN, TAN, GST and other tax registrations applicable to the LLP.

Under the current MCA FiLLiP process, Form 18 is filed as a linked form with FiLLiP for conversion of an eligible private company or unlisted public company into LLP.
The current MCA FiLLiP conversion instructions state that the company being converted should not be a Section 8 company.
The MCA conversion route covers an eligible unlisted public company, subject to satisfaction of the applicable statutory and filing conditions.
The conversion involves restructuring the ownership relationship into the LLP's partner structure. The shareholder-to-partner mapping and related documentation should be prepared according to the applicable provisions.
The treatment of assets, liabilities, contracts and registrations should be reviewed as part of the conversion and transition process, including applicable statutory provisions and tax conditions.
MCA's current conversion instructions include a check for open unsatisfied charges. Existing charge-related matters should therefore be reviewed and appropriately resolved before filing.
