Types of Office Change

• Change can occur within the same city or local limits
  
• It can also involve a shift from one city, district, or state to another
  
• The process varies slightly depending on the nature and location of the change
  
• The LLP Agreement must permit such changes or be amended to allow it
  
• Consent of partners and regulatory approvals (if applicable) are required
  

Approval from Partners

• The change must be approved by all partners or as per the majority terms in the LLP Agreement
  
• A formal resolution must be passed authorizing the change
  
• If shifting across states, the LLP must obtain consent from secured creditors, if any
  
• The date of effectiveness and reason for the move should be documented
  
• Amendments to the LLP Agreement may be required to reflect the new address
  

Filing with the Registrar of Companies (RoC)

• The LLP must file Form 15 with the RoC within 30 days of the change
  
• Attach the resolution for change of address, proof of new address, and NOC from the owner
  
• If the property is rented, include a rent agreement and a utility bill not older than two months
  
• In case of interstate change, both the old and new RoCs must be notified
  
• The form must be signed using the Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) of a designated partner
  

Registrar Review and Update

• The RoC verifies the documents and updates the LLP Master Data on the MCA portal

Post-Change Compliance
