LLP Name Change in Mumbai – Overview

📌 TL;DR - LLP Name Change Services at a Glance

LLP name change is the legal process of changing the registered name through MCA approval: RUN-LLP name reservation (valid 20 days, up to 2 names, Rs 200), Form 5 approval-based filing with ROC (15-30 days), supplementary LLP Agreement via Form 3 (linked form within 30 days), and fresh Certificate of Incorporation. Section 19 for voluntary changes, Section 20 for ROC/Central Government directed changes. Post-approval: update PAN, TAN, GST, bank, Maharashtra PT, all registrations. Late filing: Rs 100/day per form with no cap.

Mumbai LLPs change names for rebranding (Powai tech pivots), partnership transitions (BKC professional LLPs), business expansion (Fort trading LLPs), trademark alignment, and ROC Section 20 directions. Learn more about LLP Name Change across India.

Patron Accounting's Mumbai office at Marine Lines – adjacent to ROC Everest House – provides end-to-end services: name search + trademark check, RUN-LLP reservation, partners' resolution, supplementary deed on Maharashtra stamp paper, Form 5 + ROC approval management, Form 3 linked filing, and all post-approval updates (PAN/GST/bank/PT). For ongoing compliance, see LLP Compliance. For agreement amendments, see LLP Agreement Change.

Content is reviewed quarterly for accuracy.

What Is LLP Name Change?

LLP name change is the formal legal process of altering the registered name under Section 19 of the LLP Act, 2008. The name appears on the Certificate of Incorporation, LLPIN, all MCA records, PAN, GST, bank accounts, contracts, and every legal document. Changing it requires MCA approval through a structured process.

Two routes exist: (1) Voluntary change under Section 19 – business reasons (rebranding, expansion, partnership change), requiring partner consent and ROC approval via Form 5. (2) Directed change under Section 20 – ROC/Central Government orders change because name is identical/similar to existing entity or trademark. For Trademark Registration to protect your new name, see our page.

The name change has practical business implications: client-facing materials, contracts (addendums needed), bank accounts, and GST invoices must all reflect the new name from the change date. For Legal Drafting of supplementary deeds, see our page. Patron manages the complete transition for Mumbai LLPs.

Key Terms for LLP Name Change:

  • Section 19: Voluntary LLP name change with partner consent and ROC approval
  • Section 20: Directed change – ROC/Central Government orders if name is undesirable or too similar
  • RUN-LLP: Reserve Unique Name – up to 2 names, Rs 200, valid 20 days
  • Form 5: Notice for Change of Name – approval-based filing with ROC
  • Form 3: Supplementary LLP Agreement – linked form within 30 days of Form 5
  • Fresh COI: New Certificate of Incorporation issued by ROC with new name and same LLPIN

CA & CS Managed LLP Name Change

When Mumbai LLPs Change Their Name

Rebranding and business pivot at Powai tech LLPs – Most common voluntary trigger. Old name no longer represents pivoted business (web dev to AI/ML). Patron manages name change alongside business objects amendment (Form 3 for objects + Form 5 for name).

Senior partner name inclusion at BKC professional LLPs – New senior partner's name added to firm name. Must comply with professional body naming guidelines (ICAI for CA firms, Bar Council for law firms) in addition to MCA. Patron coordinates dual approval.

Partner exit and name removal – Departing partner's name removed from LLP name. Linked with partner retirement (Form 4) and agreement amendment (Form 3). Patron manages linked name change + partner exit.

Business expansion and diversification – Name too narrow for expanded services. Combined with business objects change in LLP Agreement. For LLP Registration of new entities, see our page.

ROC/Central Government direction (Section 20) – Name identical/similar to existing entity, infringes trademark, or contains prohibited words. Must comply within specified period (3-6 months). Patron manages directed changes within deadline.

Trademark alignment – LLP name to match registered trademark for brand consistency. Or proactive change to avoid infringement. Patron conducts trademark search before name change.

LLP Name Change Process in Mumbai

Search MCA records and Trademark Registry for conflicts. File RUN-LLP (Rs 200, up to 2 names, valid 20 days). Pass partners' resolution authorising the name change. Draft supplementary deed on Maharashtra stamp paper. Patron initiates consent in parallel with RUN-LLP to maximise the 20-day window.

Name reservedConsent obtained
Name Reserved01
Step 2

File Form 5 with ROC (Approval-Based)

File Form 5 (Notice for Change of Name) on MCA V3 portal with ROC Mumbai. Attach: partners' resolution, LLP Agreement extract, RUN-LLP SRN. ROC reviews and approves (15-30 days). If resubmission needed: respond within timeline. Upon approval: ROC issues fresh Certificate of Incorporation with new name.

Form 5 filedNew COI received

File Form 3 (Linked Form)

File Form 3 (supplementary LLP Agreement) on MCA V3 portal within 30 days of Form 5 approval. Attach supplementary deed reflecting new name. DSC of designated partner. Patron files within 5 days of Form 5 approval for Mumbai LLPs. This updates the LLP Agreement on MCA records.

Documents Required for LLP Name Change in Mumbai

  • RUN-LLP Approval (SRN): Approved name reservation from MCA portal
  • Partners' Resolution/Consent: Signed by all partners authorising name change
  • Existing LLP Agreement: For reference and clause identification
  • Supplementary LLP Agreement: On Maharashtra stamp paper amending name clause, all partners, 2 witnesses
  • LLP Agreement Clause Extract: If agreement specifies name change procedure
  • Section 20 Direction (if applicable): Central Government/ROC order for directed changes
  • DSC of Designated Partner: Valid Digital Signature for Form 5 and Form 3

Mumbai-Specific Tip: For Mumbai professional LLPs (CA, law, CS firms), the name must comply with the professional body's naming guidelines in addition to MCA. ICAI has specific rules about partner names, 'Chartered Accountants' usage, and suffixes. Bar Council has similar restrictions. Patron coordinates with both MCA and the professional body for dual approval.

Trademark Conflict Post-ApprovalForm 5 approved but trademark infringement notice received. ROC approval does not protect against trademark claimsTrademark Registry searched before RUN-LLP. No post-approval trademark surprises for Mumbai LLPs

LLP Name Change Timeline

StageEstimated Timeline
Name Search & Trademark Check1-2 days – Patron pre-check before RUN-LLP
RUN-LLP Filing & Approval1-3 days – MCA portal; instant to 3 days
Partners' Resolution & Consent1-3 days – parallel with RUN-LLP wait
Supplementary Deed Drafting & Execution2-3 days – Maharashtra stamp paper
Form 5 Filing with ROCSame day as deed execution – within 20-day RUN-LLP validity
ROC Approval of Form 515-30 days – approval-based; Patron follows up
Form 3 Filing (Linked Form)Within 30 days of Form 5 approval (Patron: 5 days)
PAN, GST, Bank, PT Updates7-30 days per registration – all in parallel
Patron End-to-End25-45 working days (including 15-30 day ROC approval wait)

The 20-day RUN-LLP window is the tightest constraint. All documents (resolution, supplementary deed) must be ready before the reservation expires. Form 5 is approval-based – ROC processing (15-30 days) is outside the LLP's control. After approval, Form 3 must be filed within 30 days. Post-approval, every registration must be updated – GST invoices under the old name after the change date are non-compliant.
