GST Registration for LLPs (Limited Liability Partnerships)
LLPs register for GST using the LLP agreement, incorporation certificate, and PAN/Aadhaar of all designated partners. Like companies, LLPs need a digital signature certificate to file. We help pick which partner should be the authorised signatory to keep things moving.
LLP agreement required
The registered LLP agreement sets out the business structure and partner details the application needs.
DSC for designated partner
At least one designated partner needs a valid DSC to sign the GST application digitally.
PAN of the LLP, not partners
The GSTIN is based on the LLP's own PAN. Individual partner PANs are used only for identity verification.
Frequently Asked Questions
Partnership deed or LLP agreement, PAN of the firm/LLP, PAN and Aadhaar of all partners, proof of the principal place of business, bank account proof, and the LLP incorporation certificate (for LLPs). At least one partner needs a digital signature for LLP applications.
A DSC is mandatory for companies and LLPs. Proprietorships and partnerships can complete GST registration using Aadhaar-based e-signature (OTP) instead, which is simpler and doesn't require purchasing a DSC.
