Common pitfalls and how we avoid them

• Delayed Form 3 filing for LLP Agreement — results in penalties. We file within statutory timelines.

• Improperly drafted LLP Agreements leaving partners exposed — we draft clear exit, dispute resolution, and profit-allocation clauses.

• Missing resident designated partner requirement — we advise on appointing compliant residents or local nominee arrangements.

• Ignoring GST/TAN obligations leading to fines — we audit registrations and advise on timelines.

• Inadequate record-keeping — we implement simple bookkeeping and statutory record templates.
