Registration of Particulars for Foreign Limited Liability Partnership (FLLP) – Section 59 of LLP Act 2008, Form 27 Filing, India Place of Business, Authorised Representative & FEMA Compliance
Registration of Particulars for a Foreign Limited Liability Partnership (FLLP) is the statutory registration mandated under Section 59 of the LLP Act 2008 read with Rule 34 of the LLP Rules 2009. Every FLLP — being an LLP formed, incorporated, or registered outside India — that establishes a place of business in India must, within 30 days of such establishment, file Form 27 with the Registrar of Companies, disclosing its incorporation particulars, partners, and details of an authorised representative in India who can accept service of legal notices.
Documents from the home country must be apostilled or consularised, with certified English translations where applicable. The registration must align with parallel FEMA approvals from the RBI / AD Bank for branch / liaison / project office structures. Our secretarial practice services cover the full lifecycle — India entry diagnostic, RBI / FEMA coordination, document apostille and translation, authorised-representative documentation, Form 27 filing, ongoing alteration filings via Form 28, cessation via Form 29, annual filings (Form 8 / Form 11), and post-registration tax registrations and bank-account opening.

When You Need FLLP Registration Support
New India Place of Business
FLLP has decided to establish an India place of business — branch, liaison, project office — triggering 30-day Form 27 filing requirement.
Branch / Liaison / Project Office
Coordinated FEMA + LLP filing — Form FNC with RBI alongside Form 27 with RoC for new branch, liaison, or project office of the FLLP.
Authorised Rep Change
Existing authorised representative is resigning, retiring, or being replaced, triggering Form 28 filing with fresh KYC, POA, and consent letter.
Particular Alteration
Change in FLLP's name, home-country registered office, partners, or India place of business requiring Form 28 alteration filing within 60 days.
Cessation of Operations
FLLP is closing its India place of business and exiting operations, requiring Form 29 cessation filing and full FEMA / tax closure.
Annual Compliance
Recurring obligation to file Form 8 (Statement of Account & Solvency) and Form 11 (Annual Return) for the registered FLLP each financial year.
Pre-Entry Setup (Post-Form-25)
