Partnership Firm vs. LLP

The most used partnership types are General Partnership and Limited Liability Partnership (LLP). Both the structures are a similar form of entities but they differ due to the way of functioning and their terms and conditions and many more.

Hence, you should have a clarity on the kind of business you are into, your goals and objectives before choosing one.

Parameter
Difference
Number of Partners A General Partnership firm can have two or more members with a maximum limit of 10 whereas a Limited Liability Partnership must be registered under the Act with a minimum of two partners. There is no limit on the maximum number of partners in LLPs. Both LLP and partnership firms must have a minimum of 2 partners. If the number of partners reduces below 2 in a partnership firm due to any reason the firm would stand dissolved. But, in case of LLPs if the number of partners reduces below 2, the sole partner can find a new partner without actually dissolving the firm.
Legal Status Partnership firms have no distinct legal status separate from its partners whereas a LLP is a body corporate having a separate legal entity and has perpetual succession.
Compliance For LLPs, it is mandatory to file the annual return to the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) and the ROC annually in the prescribed format . Whereas, a partnership firm requires no annual return filing.
Transferability Shares can be transferred to another person after obtaining the permission of all the Partners in a Partnership. The transferability of a Partnership is unwieldy, whereas the shares of an LLP can be transferred. However, the transferee is not allowed to become a Partner automatically. The share of an LLP can be transferred to another person more easily.

Whereas, Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008 governs LLP in India. The operation, management and other activities of the LLP are accordance to the LLP Agreement
Manageability Partnership firms are difficult to operate or move across India because the Registrar of firms that register the partnership firms are controlled by the state government. But, in case of LLPs, they can open a bank account and shift their registered office anywhere in India and as it is registered under the MCA.
