LLP agreement amendment is the legal process of modifying an existing Limited Liability Partnership deed by executing a supplementary agreement and filing Form-3 with MCA under Section 23(4) of the LLP Act, 2008. It is the only legally recognized method for changing LLP terms after registration. This page covers the complete amendment process, required documents, government fees, state-wise stamp duty, penalty rules, and post-amendment compliance for LLPs registered anywhere in India.
Every LLP in India operates under a written partnership agreement that defines profit-sharing ratios, capital contributions, partner roles, business activities, and dispute resolution. When partners need to modify any of these terms, they draft a supplementary agreement documenting the specific changes. A Designated Partner, the LLP partner designated under Section 7 of the LLP Act, 2008 who bears statutory compliance responsibilities including MCA filings, must digitally sign Form-3 using a valid DSC. This supplementary deed, signed by all partners on non-judicial stamp paper worth ₹100 minimum, becomes a binding addendum to the original agreement. The amended terms must then be reported to the Ministry of Corporate Affairs through Form-3 within 30 days of execution, with a government fee of ₹50 to ₹200 depending on the LLP's total contribution amount.
LLPs that operate without a written agreement are automatically governed by Schedule I of the LLP Act, 2008 under Section 23(2). Schedule I contains the default provisions that automatically govern any LLP when no written agreement exists, covering equal profit and loss sharing, mutual management rights, partner indemnification, and unanimous consent for admitting new partners. Filing a custom LLP agreement through Form-3 overrides these defaults. Partners who want to understand the essential clauses in an LLP agreement should review their deed before initiating any changes.
The amendment process falls under event-based ROC compliance and applies to all LLPs registered in India, regardless of turnover or partner count. The Registrar of Companies (RoC) is the MCA authority in each jurisdiction responsible for reviewing and approving LLP filings including Form-3. If you are yet to register an LLP, the initial agreement is filed at incorporation itself. For existing LLPs, following the step-by-step LLP registration process guide can help you understand the foundational requirements.
LLP agreements can be amended for a wide range of reasons. Each type of change requires Form-3 filing, and certain changes need additional MCA forms filed simultaneously. Partners can bundle multiple changes into a single supplementary agreement to save time and fees. When changing business activities, the amendment must reference updated NIC codes (National Industrial Classification codes assigned by the Ministry of Statistics that categorize business activities for all government filings). Below is a detailed list of amendment types with the forms required for each.
Making multiple changes? Bundle them into a single supplementary agreement and file one Form-3. This approach saves government fees (₹50 to ₹200 per filing), stamp duty (₹100 per agreement), and reduces processing time. Each separate filing restarts the 30-day deadline.
How to Change LLP Agreement: Step-by-Step Process
The LLP agreement amendment process involves 8 steps, takes 5 to 7 working days from start to RoC approval, and costs ₹3,999 to ₹5,500 including government fees and stamp duty. Based on our experience processing 3,000+ LLP filings, here is the complete step-by-step process for changing your LLP agreement.
Step 1: Review Current LLP Agreement and Identify Changes
Examine the existing LLP agreement clause by clause. Identify every provision that needs modification, whether it is profit-sharing ratios, capital contributions, business activities, or partner roles. List all changes to ensure the supplementary agreement covers everything in a single amendment. This prevents multiple filings and extra fees.
Time: 1 working day
Step 2: Draft the Supplementary LLP Agreement
Prepare a supplementary agreement documenting each specific change. Reference the original clause numbers being amended and state the new terms clearly. The supplementary deed becomes a legally binding addendum to the original agreement under Section 23 of the LLP Act, 2008. IncorpX's expert CS team drafts legally compliant supplementary agreements.
Time: 1 to 2 working days
Step 3: Obtain Written Consent of All Partners
Draft a partner resolution recording unanimous consent of all partners to the proposed amendments. Unless the existing agreement specifies a different approval threshold, consent of every partner is mandatory. Each partner must sign the resolution document physically or through authorized representatives.
Time: 1 working day
Step 4: Execute Agreement on Stamp Paper
Print the supplementary agreement on non-judicial stamp paper worth ₹100 minimum. For capital contribution changes, stamp duty varies by state and amount (see the stamp duty section below). All partners must sign the executed copy. Retain the original for MCA filing as a PDF attachment.
Time: 1 working day
Step 5: Notarize the Agreement If Required by State
Delhi and Uttar Pradesh mandate notarization of the supplementary LLP agreement before a Notary Public. Notarization costs ₹500 to ₹1,000. Most other states including Maharashtra, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Gujarat do not require notarization. IncorpX handles state-specific requirements for all locations.
Time: 1 working day (if applicable)
Step 6: Prepare Form-3 on MCA V3 Portal
Log in to the MCA V3 portal and select Form-3 under LLP e-Filing. Enter the LLPIN (LLP Identification Number, the unique 7-character alphanumeric code assigned by MCA at incorporation), select the type of change (business activities, partners, contribution and profit sharing, or other reasons), fill modification details, and upload the supplementary agreement and original LLP agreement as PDF attachments.
Step 7: File Form-3 with DSC and CA/CS Certification
Digitally sign Form-3 using the Designated Partner's DSC. Attach the mandatory certification from a practicing CA, CS, or CWA. Pay the government fee of ₹50 to ₹200 based on LLP contribution amount online. Submit the form on the MCA portal. Filing must happen within 30 days of the amendment execution date to avoid penalties.
Form: Form-3 | Fee: ₹50 to ₹200 | Time: 1 working day
Step 8: Obtain RoC Approval and Update Records
The Registrar of Companies reviews the submitted Form-3 and issues approval within 3 to 5 working days. Once approved, update all related records including bank accounts, GST registration, professional licences, and internal documents to reflect the amended LLP agreement terms. IncorpX provides a consolidated updated agreement after RoC approval.
Time: 3 to 5 working days
Filing Form-3 after the 30-day deadline is the most frequent and costly error. The penalty of ₹100 per day starts immediately from day 31 with no cap. A 90-day delay results in ₹9,000 in penalties alone. Start the process early and file within the first 2 weeks of executing the supplementary agreement.
5 to 7 working days. Supplementary deed + Form-3 + CA/CS certification + consolidated agreement included.

LLP Agreement Amendment Fees and Cost in 2026
Understanding the complete cost breakdown helps you budget accurately. The total LLP agreement amendment cost depends on the type of change, state of registration (stamp duty varies), and whether a new DSC is needed. Here is the detailed fee structure:
The MCA charges Form-3 filing fees based on the total contribution amount of the LLP. No competitor breaks down this official fee schedule:
LLP Contribution Amount
Form-3 Government Fee
Up to ₹1 lakh

₹1 lakh to ₹5 lakh
₹100

IncorpX's ₹3,999 package includes supplementary deed drafting, partner resolution, Form-3 filing, CA/CS certification, government fee payment, RoC follow-up, and a consolidated updated LLP agreement. This consolidated document is a unique IncorpX deliverable that no other provider offers as standard. Stamp duty and notarization charges (₹100 to ₹1,000) apply additionally based on your state and change type. Market rates for this service range from ₹2,299 to ₹5,000+ depending on scope.
IncorpX guarantees Form-3 filing within the promised 5 to 7 working day timeline. If we miss the deadline due to any reason on our end, we waive the professional fee entirely. Our 98% first-attempt RoC approval rate means fewer resubmissions and no additional delay. We also provide a free post-amendment compliance checklist to track all downstream updates.
Government fee + CA/CS certification + consolidated agreement included. No hidden charges.
State-Wise Stamp Duty on LLP Agreement Amendment
Stamp duty on LLP agreement amendments varies by state under respective State Stamp Acts. For standard non-capital changes (profit-sharing ratios, business activities, partner roles), stamp duty is uniformly ₹100 on non-judicial stamp paper across most states. Capital contribution changes attract higher stamp duty calculated on the increased amount per the respective state law.

For non-capital changes (profit-sharing ratio, business activity, partner roles), stamp duty is uniformly ₹100 across all states. Capital contribution changes attract higher stamp duty calculated on the increased amount per respective state laws. Always confirm current rates with your state's Stamp Act before purchasing stamp paper.
LLPs registered in Delhi and Uttar Pradesh must notarize the supplementary agreement before a Notary Public. Filing without notarization in these states may result in the supplementary agreement being considered invalid. Budget ₹500 to ₹1,000 extra for notarization in these states.
Form-3 vs Form-4 vs Form-5: When to File Each
LLP compliance involves different forms for different types of changes. Understanding which form to file prevents errors, double filings, and unnecessary penalties. Based on our experience processing 3,000+ filings, incorrect form selection is among the top 3 reasons for MCA rejection. Here is a clear comparison of the three most common LLP forms.

Form-3 + Form-4
When a change requires multiple forms (for example, Form-3 + Form-4 for adding a partner), file both forms within the same 30-day window. Late penalty of ₹100/day applies per form, so a 60-day delay on two forms costs ₹12,000 total instead of ₹6,000.
Penalty for Late Filing of LLP Agreement Change
The LLP Act, 2008 imposes a penalty of ₹100 per day for every day of delay beyond the 30-day filing window. This penalty has no maximum cap, meaning it accumulates daily until Form-3 is filed. Early filing is the only way to avoid this cost entirely. Here are calculated penalty examples for different delay periods:
Delay Period
Penalty Amount
Total Cost (with ₹3,999 service)
On time (within 30 days)

₹40,499
The ₹100/day penalty starts from day 31 after the amendment execution date. There is no maximum cap, and it accumulates daily until Form-3 is filed and approved. For LLPs with multiple overdue filings, the LLP amnesty scheme for late filings may provide relief by reducing accumulated penalties. If both Form-3 and Form-4 are late, the penalty applies to each form separately.
Post-Amendment Compliance Checklist

All amendments
Maintain copies of the original LLP agreement, all supplementary agreements, partner resolutions, Form-3 filing receipts, and RoC approval letters for a minimum of 8 years per LLP Rules, 2009. These records are required during audits, partner disputes, and regulatory inspections.
If your amendment involves capital contribution changes, the income tax implications must be assessed. Increased capital may attract stamp duty under the respective State Stamp Act, and any goodwill component in partner admission may have capital gains tax consequences under Section 9B of the Income Tax Act, 1961 (Section 74 of the Income Tax Act, 2025). Consult a CA before executing capital-related amendments.
If your amendment involves a change in business activity, update your GST registration through Form GST REG-14 within 15 days. Failure to update GST records can result in mismatched filings and potential penalties from the GST department. Track your LLP annual compliance requirements to stay on schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions About LLP Agreement Amendment
These FAQs cover every common question about changing an LLP agreement, from costs and timelines to state-specific stamp duty and Form-3 filing procedures. Based on queries from 3,000+ LLP filings processed by our CA/CS team since 2019.
An LLP agreement amendment is a formal modification to the original partnership deed under Section 23(4) of the LLP Act, 2008. Partners execute a supplementary agreement, obtain all partners' consent, and file Form-3 with MCA within 30 days. Changes can cover profit sharing, capital, business activities, or partner roles.
A supplementary LLP agreement is a legal addendum executed alongside the original deed to document specific changes. It must be printed on non-judicial stamp paper (₹100 minimum), signed by all partners, and attached to Form-3 when filing with MCA. The supplementary deed records only the amended clauses, not the entire agreement.
Form-3 is the MCA form filed under Section 23(4) of the LLP Act, 2008 to report changes to an LLP agreement. It captures the type of change, modification date, and prior amendment count. Filing requires a Designated Partner's DSC and CA/CS/CWA certification. Government fee ranges from ₹50 to ₹200 based on contribution amount.
Amendable clauses include profit-sharing ratios, capital contributions, business activities (NIC codes), partner roles and responsibilities, dispute resolution mechanisms, meeting procedures, partner admission or removal terms, indemnification provisions, and LLP duration. Section 23 of the LLP Act, 2008 permits amendment of any clause with all partners' consent.
Yes, consent of all partners is mandatory unless the existing LLP agreement specifies a different approval mechanism such as majority consent. Under Section 23(1) of the LLP Act, 2008, the LLP is bound by its written agreement. A formal partner resolution documenting unanimous consent must be prepared before executing the supplementary deed.
Failing to update the LLP agreement means Schedule I default provisions of the LLP Act, 2008 apply automatically per Section 23(2). This results in equal profit-sharing regardless of contributions, default management rights for all partners, and potential disputes. Not filing Form-3 within 30 days attracts a penalty of ₹100 per day with no cap.
Yes, an LLP agreement can be amended any time after registration. Partners must execute a supplementary agreement documenting changes, obtain consent of all partners, and file Form-3 with MCA within 30 days of execution. Government fee ranges from ₹50 to ₹200, and the process takes 5 to 7 working days.
There is no statutory limit on amendment frequency under the LLP Act, 2008. An LLP can amend its agreement as many times as needed. Each amendment requires a separate supplementary agreement, partner resolution, and Form-3 filing with MCA. The government fee (₹50 to ₹200) and stamp duty (₹100 minimum) apply per amendment.
Notarization requirements vary by state. Delhi and Uttar Pradesh mandate notarization of the supplementary LLP agreement, adding ₹500 to ₹1,000 to the cost. Most other states including Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu do not require notarization. The agreement must still be printed on non-judicial stamp paper worth ₹100 minimum in all states.
Schedule I contains default provisions that automatically govern an LLP when no written agreement exists, per Section 23(2). It covers equal profit and loss sharing, mutual management rights, partner indemnification, admission by unanimous consent, and majority rule for ordinary matters. Filing a custom LLP agreement through Form-3 overrides these defaults.
Yes, a Class 3 Digital Signature Certificate of at least one Designated Partner is mandatory for filing Form-3 on the MCA portal. The DSC digitally authenticates the form. If the Designated Partner does not have a valid DSC, one can be obtained for ₹1,000 to ₹1,500 from a licensed Certifying Authority before filing.
Yes, Registrar of Companies approval is required. After filing Form-3 with MCA, the RoC reviews the submission and issues approval within 3 to 5 working days. The complete process from filing to RoC approval takes 5 to 7 working days. Form-3 must be filed within 30 days to avoid a ₹100 per day late penalty.
Form-3 must be filed within 30 days from the date the amendment takes effect or the supplementary agreement is executed, whichever is earlier. Missing this deadline triggers a late filing penalty of ₹100 per day with no maximum cap. A 60-day delay costs ₹6,000, and a 90-day delay costs ₹9,000 in penalties.
To change an LLP agreement: review current clauses, draft a supplementary agreement on ₹100 stamp paper, obtain all partners' consent via resolution, notarize if required in your state (Delhi, UP), prepare and file Form-3 on MCA V3 portal with Designated Partner's DSC, and obtain RoC approval. Total process takes 5 to 7 working days.
Log in to the MCA V3 portal, select Form-3 under LLP e-Filing, enter your LLPIN, choose the amendment type (business activities, partners, contribution and profit sharing, or other reasons), fill modification details, upload the supplementary agreement and original deed, sign with Designated Partner's DSC, attach CA/CS certification, pay ₹50 to ₹200 fee, and submit.
Required documents include: original LLP agreement, supplementary agreement on stamp paper, partner consent resolution, Designated Partner's Class 3 DSC, PAN cards of all partners, LLP Certificate of Incorporation, proof of registered office address, and CA/CS certification. For capital changes, additional bank statements and valuation reports may be needed.
Adding or removing partners requires an LLP agreement amendment plus Form-4 (Notice of Change in Partners). The supplementary agreement must document new partner details or outgoing partner's settlement terms. Form-3 records the agreement change while Form-4 reports partner changes to RoC. Both forms must be filed within 30 days of execution.
Yes, foreign nationals or foreign companies can be added as LLP partners through an agreement amendment. The supplementary agreement must include foreign partner details, and Form-4 must be filed alongside Form-3. Foreign partners need a valid DSC and DPIN. FEMA compliance and RBI reporting may also apply for foreign investment in the LLP.
Yes, changing business activities requires amending the LLP agreement and filing Form-3. In the form, select change in business activities and update the NIC codes. The supplementary agreement must specify both old and new business activities clearly. This process does not require a name change unless the LLP name reflects the previous business activity.
Yes, partners can change profit-sharing ratios by amending the LLP agreement. The supplementary deed must clearly state new ratios for each partner. File Form-3 with MCA under contribution and profit sharing category. State stamp duty may be higher for capital-related changes. Without an amendment, Schedule I defaults to equal sharing per Section 23(2).
The online process includes: identify clauses to amend, draft the supplementary agreement, print on ₹100 stamp paper, obtain all partners' signatures and consent resolution, notarize in Delhi or UP if applicable, log in to MCA V3 portal, fill Form-3 with details and upload documents, sign with DSC, pay ₹50 to ₹200 government fee, and submit for RoC approval.
Total LLP agreement amendment cost ranges from ₹3,999 to ₹5,500, covering: government fee (₹50 to ₹200 based on LLP contribution slab), stamp duty (₹100 minimum for non-capital changes), DSC renewal if needed (₹1,000 to ₹1,500), and professional service charges. IncorpX's all-inclusive package at ₹3,999 covers deed drafting, Form-3 filing, and RoC follow-up.
The MCA government fee for Form-3 depends on LLP contribution: ₹50 for contributions up to ₹1 lakh, ₹100 for ₹1 to ₹5 lakh, ₹150 for ₹5 to ₹10 lakh, and ₹200 for contributions above ₹10 lakh. This fee is paid online during filing on the MCA V3 portal with no additional government processing charges.
Yes, stamp duty applies on every LLP agreement amendment. For non-capital changes (profit-sharing ratios, business activities, partner roles), base stamp duty is ₹100 on non-judicial stamp paper in most states. For capital contribution changes, stamp duty varies by state and amount per the respective State Stamp Act. Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Gujarat charge ₹100 base for standard amendments.
The total cost ranges from ₹4,200 to ₹6,500 depending on complexity. Breakdown: government fee ₹50 to ₹200, stamp duty ₹100 to ₹5,000 (state and change-type dependent), notarization ₹500 to ₹1,000 (Delhi and UP only), DSC ₹1,000 to ₹1,500 (if new required), and professional fees starting at ₹3,999 with IncorpX's all-inclusive package.
The late filing penalty is ₹100 per day of delay with no maximum cap under the LLP Act, 2008. The 30-day filing window starts from the amendment execution date. A 60-day delay costs ₹6,000; a 90-day delay costs ₹9,000 in penalties. LLPs with older defaults may qualify for the LLP amnesty scheme for late filings.
Form-3 requires mandatory certification from a practicing CA, CS, or Cost Accountant in whole-time practice. While partners can draft the supplementary agreement themselves, professional drafting ensures legally sound clauses and correct MCA portal entries. IncorpX's ₹3,999 package includes CA/CS certification, deed drafting, Form-3 filing, and a consolidated updated agreement.
IncorpX's ₹3,999 all-inclusive package covers: supplementary agreement drafting, partner consent resolution preparation, Form-3 filing on MCA portal, CA/CS certification, government fee payment, RoC follow-up until approval, and a consolidated updated LLP agreement. The process takes 5 to 7 working days. Stamp duty and notarization charges (₹100 to ₹1,000) apply additionally based on state.
Stamp duty for capital contribution changes varies by state. Maharashtra charges based on increased capital per the Bombay Stamp Act. Delhi charges ₹100 base plus notarization fee of ₹500 to ₹1,000. Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Gujarat charge ₹100 base with variable rates for capital amendments. Non-capital changes attract a flat ₹100 stamp duty in all states.
Form-3 reports LLP agreement changes (profit-sharing, business activity, capital contributions). Form-4 notifies partner additions or removals to the Registrar. Form-5 is specifically for LLP name changes. Each form has a 30-day filing deadline and ₹100 per day penalty for delays. Agreement amendments typically need Form-3; partner changes require Form-4 simultaneously.
A supplementary amendment is sufficient for modifying specific clauses like profit-sharing or business activities. A fresh agreement is recommended when changes affect more than 50% of clauses or when multiple prior amendments make the original difficult to follow. IncorpX provides a consolidated agreement after every amendment, combining original and supplementary terms into one updated document.
LLP agreement amendment requires Form-3 filing with ₹50 to ₹200 MCA fee and a 30-day deadline. Company MOA or AOA amendments require a board resolution, special resolution with 75% majority, and different MCA forms (MGT-14, INC-27). LLP amendments need all partners' consent by default, while company amendments follow the Companies Act, 2013 with separate fee structures.
IncorpX provides a consolidated updated agreement that competitors typically do not, includes CA/CS certification in the ₹3,999 package, and completes the process in 5 to 7 working days versus 12 to 15 days at other firms. The package covers deed drafting, Form-3 filing, government fees, and RoC follow-up. Other providers charge ₹2,299 but exclude key services.
LLP agreement amendment in Mumbai follows the standard MCA online process. Stamp duty is ₹100 on non-judicial stamp paper for non-capital changes per the Maharashtra Stamp Act. Mumbai LLPs fall under RoC Mumbai jurisdiction. Notarization is not required in Maharashtra. Government fee remains ₹50 to ₹200 based on contribution, with 5 to 7 working days processing time.
Delhi charges ₹100 stamp duty for non-capital LLP agreement amendments on non-judicial stamp paper. For capital contribution changes, stamp duty is calculated per the Delhi Stamp Act based on the increased amount. Delhi also mandates notarization of the supplementary agreement, costing ₹500 to ₹1,000 extra. Total additional cost in Delhi is ₹600 to ₹2,000 above standard fees.
Yes, Uttar Pradesh mandates notarization of the supplementary LLP agreement before a Notary Public. This adds ₹500 to ₹1,000 to the total amendment cost. The agreement must be printed on ₹100 non-judicial stamp paper, signed by all partners, and notarized before filing Form-3 with MCA. LLPs under RoC Kanpur jurisdiction must comply with this state-specific requirement.
Yes, if the LLP is no longer active, you can close or wind up your LLP instead of amending the agreement. Closure requires filing Form-24 with MCA. Alternatively, if you want a different structure, you can convert your LLP to a Private Limited company under Section 56 of the LLP Act, 2008.
