FiLLiP gives you the LLPIN. It does not put the LLP Agreement on the Registrar’s record. That is Form 3 — Purpose 1 — and the clock is thirty days from the date of incorporation.

I see this miss after the COI WhatsApp lands: partners celebrate, the agreement stays in a Word draft, and Form 3 is still empty when the bank or a counterparty asks for the filed pack.

Who this is for

Two or more partners who just got an LLP Certificate of Incorporation in Haryana (or PAN-India on documents) and still need the agreement filed.

Use this if FiLLiP is done and nobody has opened Form 3 Purpose 1 yet.

Skip this if you are still choosing Pvt Ltd vs LLP — settle structure first in the Pvt Ltd vs LLP guide.

Skip company founders looking for commencement. That is INC-20A, not Form 3.

What we file

Item	What it means in practice
Form 3 — Purpose 1	Information with regard to the initial LLP Agreement. MCA FAQ: file with the Registrar within thirty days of the date of incorporation — one time post-incorporation.
Form 3 — Purpose 2	Later changes to the LLP Agreement. MCA FAQ: file within thirty days of the change (partner, contribution, profit-sharing, business activities, and related fields as the live form lists).
Before you hit Submit	Executed LLP Agreement (stamp as per the state of execution; Haryana stamp practice for your facts). Profit-sharing must total 100%. Designated-partner story must match what FiLLiP already put on record.
After Form 3	Bank pack, GST if your supply profile needs it, and the annual Form 8 / Form 11 calendar. FiLLiP alone does not finish that map — see LLP registration in Haryana.

Do not quote a Form 3 government fee from memory. Open today’s MCA fee view for that LLPIN’s contribution class before you tell partners a rupee figure.

What founders miss

Treating FiLLiP as “fully done.”

Leaving the agreement unsigned or unstamped, then wondering why Form 3 attachments fail.

Changing profit share on WhatsApp and never filing Purpose 2.

Copy-pasting a generic agreement that contradicts the FiLLiP contribution table.

Waiting for the first client invoice before anyone opens the MCA form.

FAQ

Does every new LLP file Form 3 Purpose 1?

Yes. MCA’s Form 3 FAQ states LLPs file Purpose 1 with the Registrar within thirty days of incorporation — one time after incorporation.

Is the thirty days from name approval or from COI?

From the date of incorporation on the certificate. Diary that date, not the RUN-LLP email.

We changed partners after incorporation. Same form?

Purpose 2 for agreement changes, within thirty days of the change. Partner addition/deletion often links to Form 4 — confirm the live form fields for your facts.

Can we invoice with only the LLPIN PDF?

The LLPIN proves the LLP exists. Counterparties and banks still ask for the agreement trail. GST and banking sit on top of a filed Form 3 story, not on celebration screenshots.

What if we are already past day thirty?

File as soon as the agreement is executable. Do not invent a late-fee number from memory — pull the live MCA additional-fee view for the SRN before you settle with partners.
