Removing a designated partner refers to officially withdrawing the role and responsibility of a partner in an LLP who no longer wishes or is eligible to serve. This may happen due to resignation, death, disqualification, or mutual agreement.
As per the LLP Act, 2008, it is mandatory to file Form 4 and Form 3 with the ROC for removing a designated partner, along with an updated LLP agreement and supporting documents. The process ensures that the person is not held legally liable for the LLP’s compliance or operations after their exit.
When a designated partner resigns, retires, or is no longer part of your LLP for any reason, it's important to officially update the records with the Registrar of Companies (ROC). Failing to do so can cause legal issues, penalties, and confusion in future filings or decisions. That’s why removing a designated partner is a necessary legal procedure, not just a formality.

Yes, a designated partner can resign by giving a written resignation to the LLP. Once accepted by the other partners, it must be officially filed with the ROC within 30 days using Form 4. Without this filing, the partner may still be held liable for the LLP’s compliance or debts.
If the LLP doesn’t file Form 4 and update the MCA portal, the person will still be considered a designated partner legally. This may cause problems in future filings or financial liabilities, and the LLP may also face penalties under the LLP Act.
Yes, once a partner is removed, the LLP agreement must be amended to reflect this change. The amended agreement must be filed in Form 3 with the ROC. This ensures that MCA records are in sync with your actual business arrangement.
Typically, the process takes around 3 to 7 working days, depending on how quickly documents are submitted and the response from MCA. CallMyCA ensures timely and efficient processing.
