Sunrise LLP wants to change its registered office from Pune to Nagpur, both within Maharashtra. Partner Kiran says the change needs approval of the Tribunal. Partner Leela says that only notice to the Registrar is required. Under the LLP Act, 2008 and the LLP Rules, which view is correct?

An LLP can change its registered office by filing a notice of the change with the Registrar in the prescribed form, along with the fee, within the prescribed time. No Tribunal or Regional Director approval is needed for such a change.

  1. AKiran is correct, because every change of registered office needs Tribunal approval
  2. BLeela is correct, as the LLP must give notice of the change of registered office to the Registrar in the prescribed form and feeCorrect
  3. CBoth are wrong, as the registered office can never be changed after incorporation
  4. DNeither view is relevant because the change needs prior approval from the Regional Director

Explanation

An LLP may change its registered office by giving notice to the Registrar in the prescribed form and fee within the prescribed time. No Tribunal approval is required. Kiran's view confuses LLP law with company law procedure for shifting between states.
