LLP Registration in Navi Mumbai: ROC Mumbai-II, Stamp Duty and Documents
On this page
In short
LLP Registration in Navi Mumbai is fully online via FiLLiP. Both the Thane and Raigad parts of Navi Mumbai come under ROC Mumbai-II, with Maharashtra stamp duty on the LLP Agreement and state professional tax.
LLP Registration in Navi Mumbai is done entirely online through the FiLLiP form on the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) portal; there is no office to visit. What makes Navi Mumbai different is local: the LLP comes under ROC Mumbai-II, which is itself located in Navi Mumbai, pays Maharashtra stamp duty on its LLP Agreement, and follows Maharashtra rules after incorporation, such as professional tax and the Shops and Establishments Act. Navi Mumbai also spans two districts and two municipal corporations, which matters for local permissions.
This guide explains those local pieces in plain language. For the national process itself, read LLP Registration in India: step-by-step guide first, then come back here for the Navi Mumbai and Maharashtra details. Rules and rates below are as of November 2026.
Navi Mumbai is not one municipal area
Navi Mumbai is a planned city spread across two districts. Nodes such as Vashi, Nerul, CBD Belapur, Airoli, Ghansoli, Kopar Khairane and Sanpada are within the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) in Thane district. Nodes such as Kharghar, Kamothe and Kalamboli fall under the Panvel Municipal Corporation in Raigad district, and parts of Ulwe and Dronagiri are still administered by CIDCO. This matters for property records, trade licences and other local permissions, so use the exact address on your utility bill and property documents. It does not change how the LLP itself is incorporated.
LLP or PVT. LTD. Company in Navi Mumbai?
Before registering, compare ownership and funding plans. An LLP suits partners who want limited liability with lighter compliance and do not plan to raise equity funding. A Private Limited Company in Navi Mumbai suits founders who plan to issue shares, bring in investors or offer ESOPs. Read PVT. LTD. vs LLP: tax, compliance, funding and founder scenarios and When an LLP is the wrong choice before you decide.
Is LLP Registration in Navi Mumbai different from the rest of India?
The core process is the same across India. An LLP is registered under the Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008, a central law, on the same MCA portal, using the same forms. The incorporation application is processed centrally at the Central Registration Centre (CRC), which issues the Certificate of Incorporation for LLPs across the country.
Three things do depend on your registered office being in Navi Mumbai:
- Which Registrar of Companies (ROC) supervises the LLP after incorporation: ROC Mumbai-II.
- Stamp duty on the LLP Agreement, which is a state tax.
- State and local Registrations such as professional tax, Shop and Establishment Registration and municipal permissions.
How much is stamp duty on an LLP Agreement in Maharashtra?
Under Article 47 of the Maharashtra Stamp Act, 1958, which covers partnerships including Limited Liability Partnerships, the LLP Agreement attracts stamp duty based on the partners' contribution brought in as cash:
| Total contribution in cash | Stamp duty |
|---|---|
| Up to ₹50,000 | ₹500 |
| Above ₹50,000 | 1% of the contribution, maximum ₹50,000 |
So an LLP with ₹1 lakh contribution pays ₹1,000, and one with ₹10 lakh pays ₹10,000. The rate is the same whether the office is in the Thane or Raigad part of Navi Mumbai. Contribution brought in as property (rather than cash) can attract a different, conveyance-style duty.
- Unlike a company's MOA and AOA, the LLP Agreement is not stamped inside FiLLiP. It is executed after incorporation, on correctly stamped Maharashtra e-stamp paper (or with duty paid through the state's e-payment system), and then filed in Form 3.
- A later increase in contribution or a change in partners usually needs a supplementary agreement, which carries its own stamp duty. Read Capital contribution in an LLP.
When must the LLP Agreement be filed?
The LLP Agreement must be filed with the ROC in Form 3 within 30 days of incorporation. Since 1 April 2022, late filing attracts an additional fee that is a multiple of the normal Form 3 fee and rises with the length of the delay. If no agreement is filed, the default provisions in the First Schedule to the LLP Act apply to the partners.
What address can you use as an LLP's registered office in Navi Mumbai?
Every LLP needs a registered office in India where it can receive official letters. In Navi Mumbai this can be a rented or owned commercial office, a residential flat (your own or a family member's) or a co-working space, as long as you have proof of address, such as a recent utility bill, and a no-objection certificate from the owner. Premises in an industrial area, such as the Trans-Thane Creek (TTC) MIDC belt, can also be used. Some housing societies object to business use, and CIDCO-leased plots may have their own permitted-use conditions. GST Registration may involve a physical check of the premises. Read Registered office: which address can you use?
One practical point: moving the registered office from Navi Mumbai to Mumbai City or Mumbai Suburban changes the supervising ROC from Mumbai-II to Mumbai-I, so plan the address carefully at the start.
What state Registrations does a Navi Mumbai LLP need after incorporation?
Maharashtra professional tax
Professional tax is a state tax administered in Maharashtra through mahagst.gov.in. An LLP, like a company, generally needs a PTEC (Enrolment Certificate) with a fixed yearly payment, and a PTRC (Registration Certificate) once it pays salaries. Slabs, due dates and who must enrol are set by the state and do change, so check the current schedule on the MahaGST site.
Shop and Establishment Registration
Offices and shops in Maharashtra are covered by the Maharashtra Shops and Establishments (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Service) Act, 2017. Broadly, an establishment with 10 or more workers must obtain a Registration certificate, while a smaller one files an online intimation instead.
GST Registration and municipal permissions
An LLP does not need GST just because it is incorporated. It needs GST Registration when its turnover crosses the threshold, or when the law makes it compulsory regardless of turnover. The application is online on the GST portal with no government fee, and a Maharashtra GSTIN begins with 27. Read Who must register for GST? Certain activities, such as food businesses, may also need a trade licence or other permission from the Navi Mumbai or Panvel Municipal Corporation.
Do you need "LLP Registration Near Me" in Navi Mumbai?
Many partners search for LLP Registration near me, expecting to visit an office. In reality, every step — name reservation, DSC, DPIN, FiLLiP, PAN, TAN and Form 3 — is done online. Even though ROC Mumbai-II sits in Navi Mumbai, partners do not visit it to register. Location matters for the registered office address, stamp duty and state rules, not for who files the forms.
FiLLiP must be certified by a practising professional — a Chartered Accountant, Company Secretary or Cost Accountant. Check their membership on the official institute website and understand exactly what they will file. Read CA or CS: who does what for your company?

- Sign the LLP Agreement on Maharashtra stamp paper and file it in Form 3 within 30 days.
- Open the bank account and bring in the partners' contribution as stated in the agreement.
- Enrol for Maharashtra professional tax and complete Shop and Establishment formalities.
