An LLP Agreement can be changed any time after incorporation by executing a Supplementary Deed with partner consent and filing E-Form 3 LLP with MCA within 30 days.

Whether expanding into new services, revising partner responsibilities, or modifying operational clauses, a formal LLP Agreement change is required under Indian law.

The process is governed by Section 23 of the LLP Act, 2008. The change is effected through a Supplementary Deed executed on stamp paper, signed by all partners, notarized where required by State law, and filed with the ROC via E-Form 3 LLP on the MCA V3 Portal - all within 30 days of execution.

What is LLP Agreement Change?

LLP Agreement change is the formal legal process of amending any clause in the original LLP Agreement by executing a Supplementary Deed and filing it with the ROC via E-Form 3 LLP under Section 23 of the LLP Act, 2008.

The LLP Agreement, defined under Section 2(1)(o), is a written agreement between partners determining mutual rights and duties. When any terms require modification, a Supplementary Agreement is prepared to record changes, and the original agreement continues alongside the new one.
