Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. A Limited Liability Partnership can trade shares if its LLP Agreement explicitly authorizes investment in securities. The LLP must open a demat and trading account with a SEBI‑registered broker, complete KYC for all designated partners, and comply with SEBI regulations. All trades are conducted in the LLP’s name, with profits and losses belonging to the entity.

Under the LLP Act, 2008, a Designated Partner must be an individual. Bodies corporate can only act through a nominated individual. Every DP must obtain a DPIN from the Ministry of Corporate Affairs. At least two DPs are required, with one resident in India, and they are personally liable for regulatory compliance.

Yes. An LLP registered under the LLP Act 2008 with a valid PAN can open a demat account. Required documents include Certificate of Incorporation, LLP Agreement, Partner Resolution, balance sheets, and partners’ KYC proofs. The process can be completed digitally with video KYC.

An LLP must have a minimum of two designated partners as per the LLP Act 2008. Both designated partners are required to complete individual KYC for the demat account opening. If your LLP has more than two designated partners, you can choose which partners will operate the demat account based on your partner resolution and internal authorisation.

No. Most brokers, including Choice, offer digital account opening with video KYC. In some cases, In‑Person Verification may be required, either at the Choice local branch or at the LLP’s registered address.

Account opening charges vary by broker. Choice offers zero account opening charges. Other charges include AMC, transaction fees, and brokerage. A detailed charge structure is provided during account opening and is available on the website.

The account activation typically takes 3 to 7 working days, depending on document verification, regulatory checks, IPV completion, and depository processing. Delays occur if documents are incomplete or if discrepancies exist.

Changes must be reported immediately with updated documents — amended LLP Agreement, new partners’ KYC, and a fresh Partner Resolution. This keeps records current and compliant.

The LLP's Board Resolution must specify the mode of operation. Options include joint operation by designated partners, operation by any one designated partner individually, or operation by any two designated partners jointly. The chosen mode is documented in the Board Resolution submitted during account opening and governs all future transactions and account modifications.

Yes. A resolution passed by all designated partners is required, authorizing securities investment, naming partners who will operate the account, and specifying the mode of operation. It must be on LLP letterhead with seal and signatures.

Not usually. If the account is operated by designated partners named in the Partner Resolution, no POA is needed. A notarised POA is required only if a non‑partner is authorized to operate the account.

To activate F&O, commodity, or currency trading, LLPs must submit income proof such as the latest ITR acknowledgement, an audited net worth certificate from a CA, and a six-month bank statement.

Yes. LLPs can open a standalone demat account to hold securities, IPO allotments, or off‑market transfers. A trading account is required only for buying and selling on exchanges.
