An LLP allows partners a high degree of freedom in defining their rights and duties. One of the most significant benefits an LLP brings to partners is their right to determine how they want to distribute profits and losses amongst themselves. As the LLP grows and its needs evolve, the initial agreement as to how profits are distributed may not be commensurate with the partner’s contribution, role, and business sense anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The partners may invest more capital, accept more managerial responsibilities, or new partners may be admitted to the LLP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In such circumstances, it becomes necessary to change the profit sharing ratio to reflect the distribution of profits more appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is an important business decision to alter the profit sharing ratio. The change must be well documented in an LLP Agreement Amendment and filed with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), where mandated by law. This article throws light on the provisions of law, the procedure, documentation and compliance to be followed to alter the LLP Profit Sharing Ratio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
