Reporting of Alteration — FLLP — Notifying the Registrar of Changes in Your Foreign LLP's Particulars.

A Foreign LLP registered in India under the LLP Act, 2008 is required to report any alteration in its home-country or India-related particulars to the Registrar of LLPs by filing Form 28 (Return of Alteration in the Incorporation Documents or in its Name or its Registered or Principal Office Address or in its Partners of a Foreign LLP). Form 28 must be filed within 30 days of the date of the alteration. Alterations that trigger this requirement include changes in the Foreign LLP's name in its home jurisdiction, changes in its home-country registered or principal office address, changes in its constitutional or charter documents, and changes in the list of partners.

For a Foreign LLP operating in India, keeping its MCA registration current is both a statutory obligation and a practical necessity. Banks, counterparties, government departments, and courts rely on the Registrar's record to verify the entity's current identity and standing. An alteration in the Foreign LLP's home-country name that is not reported to the Indian Registrar creates a discrepancy between the entity's legal name and its Indian registration — which can affect contracts, bank accounts, regulatory clearances, and legal proceedings in India.

The Form 28 filing requires an updated or amended version of the document that has changed — typically the updated certificate of registration (reflecting the new name), the amended charter or LLP Agreement, or the updated list of partners — all duly apostilled or notarised and, where in a foreign language, accompanied by a certified English translation. We review the nature of the alteration, identify the documents required, coordinate apostille and translation where needed, and file Form 28 within the 30-day statutory window.
