Indore (Madhya Pardesh): CA Manoj P Gupta, has said that to start any new business, its legal form has to be decided whether its form is Partnership Firm, Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) or Private Limited Company. In which form will it remain. He said that while selecting the business format, all points like income tax (IT), company law, nature of business, business succession and transfer, foreign capital investment, following the prescribed legal procedures, facility of capital injection, startup benefits etc should be considered.

CA Gupta was addressing a seminar organised by Tax Practitioners Association and Indore CA branch. Gupta said that decisions should be taken only after thinking. He said that there can be a maximum of 50 partners in a partnership and a maximum of 200 shareholders in a private limited company. But there is no limit on the maximum number of members in LLP.

CA Gupta said that partnership firm and company can be converted into LLP. Through this conversion, benefits of both the convenience of partnership firm and the facilities of company format can be availed in LLP. But at the time of conversion, it will be very important to keep aspects of Income Tax and GST law in mind.
