Filing Addendum for Rectification — Correcting Errors in Previously Filed LLP or FLLP Forms.

An addendum for rectification is the mechanism provided under the LLP Rules, 2009 to correct errors in forms already filed with the Registrar of LLPs. When a filed form contains incorrect information — whether a typographical error in a partner's name, an incorrect date, an erroneous address, a wrong DPIN, or a material inaccuracy in the particulars submitted — the error cannot be simply ignored. An inaccurate MCA record affects the LLP's compliance standing, third-party reliance, and can cause mismatches in regulatory verifications, bank due diligence, and future filings.

The addendum process differs from filing a fresh form or an alteration notice — it is specifically designed to correct or supplement information in a form that has already been filed and acknowledged. The addendum identifies the form being corrected, the specific error, and the correct information that should replace it. It is signed by the designated partner or authorised signatory (using their DSC) and filed on MCA with a clear reference to the original form's SRN. For Foreign LLPs, rectification addenda may also be required to correct errors in Form 27 registration particulars or Form 28 alteration filings.

Rectification addenda are used proactively when errors are discovered after filing — whether by the LLP itself or as a result of a Registrar query — and are also filed in response to formal Registrar notices requiring correction of filed information. Prompt rectification minimises the risk of the error affecting compliance status or creating discrepancies that compound over time. We review the original filing, identify the error and the correct information, prepare the addendum, and file it on MCA.
