The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (the MCA) had earlier issued Office Memorandum (OM) No. to all the Registrar of Companies (the RoCs) dated on 6 March 2019, instructing the RoCs to reject the applications for incorporation of Limited Liability Partnerships (the LLPs) or conversion of entities into LLPs having Manufacturing & allied activities as the business of the LLPs on the ground that manufacturing activities does not fall under the definition of `Business’ as per the Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008.
Now the MCA has withdrawn the aforementioned OM on such restriction to the LLPs from carrying out manufacturing & allied activities with immediate effect. Consequent to this clarification, LLPs can now carry out the manufacturing & allied activities and entities carrying-out manufacturing & allied activities can also convert themselves into LLP.
