What is ‘Change of Business Activity in LLP’?

Changing the business activity of an LLP means modifying the nature of the business mentioned in your LLP Agreement and updating it with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA). This is legally required if your LLP:

  • Adds or drops a business segment
  • Switches its industry (e.g., from IT to manufacturing)
  • Expands into unrelated sectors
  • Wants to change its NIC (National Industrial Classification) Code

Once the change is finalized internally, it must be filed with Form 3 (for agreement update) within 30 days, along with an updated LLP agreement and partner resolution

As your business evolves, your LLP’s core activity might shift from what was originally registered, whether it's expanding into a new sector, moving from services to manufacturing, or simply changing the focus of your operations. But you can’t just start a new activity and carry on — legally, you need to update the business activity in your LLP Agreement and file the change with the Registrar of Companies (ROC).

That’s where CallMyCA comes in. We help you officially change your LLP’s business activity and ensure that it’s updated on MCA records, linked to the correct NIC Code, and reflected in your LLP Agreement. Our CA/CS experts manage the end-to-end process with zero confusion and full compliance.
