After introduction of LLP Act in 2008, many people have started to convert their Partnership Firm into an LLP. The reasons of conversion are self-evident such as the ability to take unlimited number of partners, separate legal entity, limited liability and ease of ownership transfer. Because of these advantages of LLP over Partnership, LLP has become very popular amongst small and medium sized businesses. The Partnership Firm which wants to convert itself to LLP must be registered under the Indian Partnership Act, 1932. Unregistered Partnership Firm can’t be converted to LLP. An LLP incorporated by conversion of “Partnership Firm to LLP” must have the same partners as they were in the Partnership Firm. Therefore it is suggested that the Partnership Firm should retire all the Partners who do not wish to be a part of the LLP and if new partners are to be added, they should be added after the incorporation of LLP.

Typically the Partners in a Partnership Firm do not have a digital signature because it isn’t necessary for the registration of a partnership firm. However, if the partners decide to convert the Partnership Firm into an LLP, then the Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) is a mandatory requirement for all the Partners.
The Partners in an LLP or the Directors in a Private Limited Company require a DIN / DPIN. A DIN is a unique number that is given to each partner or a director of an LLP. Once, a DIN/DPIN is issued, it can be used without any renewal or any compliance filing for the lifetime.
Once, two DIN/DPIN are available, an application for name reservation of the prospective company can be made to the Ministry of Corporate Affair. The Reservation of the name of the LLP must be obtained before filing the forms for the conversion of the Partnership Firm into LLP.
Application and a Statement of the Conversion of Partnership Firm into LLP (Limited Liability Partnership) i.e., Form 17 should be filed along with the incorporation application.
