conversion of LLP into company

[Ramachandran V]

If we start work relating to conversion of LLP into a company now but it gets approved only in April, 2023 what will be filed as on 31/3/23 - form 11 LLP ? 

What if at the time of filing the form 11 LLP in May 2023 the name & No. of LLP is not there on the LLP register? What to do in that case.

FAQs On Conversion Of Other Entities Into LLPs And Vice Versa

 

• 1Whether other business entities like firm or company would be able to convert themselves into LLP?

  The LLP Act contains enabling provisions pursuant to which a firm (set up under Indian Partnership Act, 1932) and private company or unlisted public company (incorporated under Companies Act) would be able to convert themselves into LLPs. Provisions of clause 58 and Schedule II to Schedule IV to the Act provide procedure in this regard.

  2    Whether LLP would be able to convert itself into company under the Companies Act, 1956?

  This would not be allowed under LLP Act. However, enabling provisions would be required to be made in the Companies Act for such conversion. Necessary action in this regard would be taken when Companies Act would be revised.

• 3   What is the treatment for stamp duty issues, both in terms of original incorporation and conversion from other business structures? Would there be any stamp duty exemption in case of conversion?

• Since Stamp Duty is the subject reserved for the States, the LLP Act does not contain any provision for treatment of stamp duty issues. The stamp duty payable will depend upon the relevant Stamp Act prescribed by the State Government/Union Territory.

• 4What are the requirements and consequence provided in the Act in respect of licences, permits, approvals etc obtained by a firm, private company or an unlisted public company, prior to its conversion into LLP?

  It has been provided in the Act that on conversion of a firm/private company/unlisted public company into LLP, any approval, permit or licence issued to the firm/private company/unlisted company under any other Act shall, subject to the provisions of such other Act under which such approval, permit or licence was issued, be transferred in the name of converted entity viz LLP.
