Decriminalisation of offences under the LLP Act – Budget 2021

The proposal for the decriminalisation of offences under the LLP Act as contemplated for the Companies Act, 2013 is an important step, to protect stakeholders from unnecessary litigation, and will provide level playing field to the form of entity, given the broader benefits otherwise available to LLPs. One person company will now be permitted with relaxed conditions, and this will also motivate entrepreneurs to have a corporate structure with limited liability, and will also help start-ups and early-stage ventures.
