The ministry additionally stressed an important point regarding the form’s auto-population of financial data. Once the Excel sheet is properly uploaded, the fields for “Total Obligation Amount” and “Total Contribution Received” on LLP Form 11 are intended to be automatically filled in using the data entered in the sheet. For the form to display accurate numbers, it is therefore essential that accurate and current financial information be entered in the Excel document.

Additionally, the form’s Table 9, which contains pre-filled data, has received notice. The MCA notes how important it is to confirm the accuracy and completeness of this material. In particular, the fields reflecting the “Total Number of Designated Partners” and the “Total Number of Partners” in the LLP will be instantly updated upon any changes made to Table 9. Stakeholders are responsible for making sure that these revisions accurately depict the LLP’s makeup on the filing date.
