Conversion of sole proprietorship firm into an LLP

Conversion of a sole proprietorship firm into llp is a good option for anyone who wishes to expand his/her small and medium scale enterprise.

The Designated Partner Identification Number (DPIN), which the two proposed designated partners must apply for, requires the following: passport-sized photograph, a scanned copy of either the telephone bill, driver’s license or previous two months bank statement, soft copy of the PAN card and a completely filled form. If the partner is a non-resident Indian, then a copy of the passport will replace the PAN card. The passport copy and address proof should be notarized by the Indian embassy, a foreign public notary or company secretary in full-time employment.

Acquire/register DSC:

With the DPIN, you can apply for the DSC for the two designated partners. The documents you need to submit for this are the same as those you need for DIN 1, along with the e-form.
