    Solution

    LLP is a body corporate and a legal entity separate from its partners. The Limited Liability Partnership Act 2008 has been notified with effect from 31 March 2009. In an LLP each member is protected from personal liability, except to the extent of their capital contribution in the LLP. Indian Partnership Act, 1932 is not applicable to LLPs and there is no upper limit on number of partners in an LLP unlike an ordinary partnership firm where the maximum number of partners cannot exceed 20.
