Registration of Particulars — FLLP — Registering Your Foreign LLP's Place of Business in India.

A Foreign Limited Liability Partnership (Foreign LLP) that establishes a place of business in India — whether a branch, liaison office, project office, or any other form of business presence — is required to register with the Registrar of LLPs under Section 59 of the LLP Act, 2008 and Rule 34 of the LLP Rules, 2009. This registration is effected by filing Form 27 (Registration of a Foreign LLP) within 30 days of establishing the place of business in India. Failure to file within 30 days is a default that attracts daily additional fees.

Form 27 captures comprehensive particulars of the Foreign LLP: its name and the country and jurisdiction in which it was formed; the law under which it is registered abroad; the date and manner of its formation; the nature of its business in India; the address of its registered or principal office in the home country; the address of its place of business in India; and the names, addresses, and details of the persons authorised to accept service of documents on behalf of the Foreign LLP in India.

The filing requires a set of supporting documents — the certificate of registration or incorporation in the home country (duly apostilled or notarised and, where in a foreign language, translated into English), a certified copy of the LLP agreement or charter document, and proof of the India address. The authenticity of foreign documents must be confirmed through the Hague Apostille Convention process or equivalent notarisation (depending on the country of origin). We compile the required documents, coordinate apostille or notarisation, and file Form 27 within the 30-day statutory window.
