Can a CA's office be disclosed as the other address for LLP records?

Yes. Many LLPs maintain books at their CA's office. This address should be formally intimated to the ROC.

Intimation of Other Address of LLP – Notifying Additional Business Locations to the ROC

Q: Is intimation of other address the same as changing the registered office?

No. Other address intimation discloses an additional record-keeping location. It does not change the LLP's registered office address.

Q: What if the other address changes?

A fresh intimation must be filed with the ROC reflecting the new other address.

Transparency Filing for LLPs Maintaining Statutory Records or Conducting Business at Multiple Locations

While every LLP must have one primary registered office — which is the address on MCA records and the address where official notices are served — an LLP may conduct business operations, maintain statutory books, or keep financial records at one or more additional locations beyond its registered office. Under the LLP Act 2008 and the LLP Rules 2009, an LLP is required to intimate the Registrar of Companies of any such other address where its books of accounts or other statutory records are maintained.

This intimation ensures regulatory transparency — the ROC, Income Tax Department, GST authorities, and other bodies know where to conduct inspections or access the LLP's records. Failing to intimate a secondary record-keeping address, and then being found to maintain records there without disclosure, can be construed as a compliance violation. Our team handles the intimation filing efficiently, ensuring all your LLP's operational locations are properly disclosed to the MCA.

When Is Intimation of Other Address Required?

LLP maintains its books of accounts at an address different from its registered office
LLP keeps any statutory registers or records (partner register, minutes, contribution records) at a secondary location
LLP operates a branch office or principal place of business that differs from the registered office
LLP's financial records are maintained at a CA's office or accounting firm's premises
LLP is relocating its record-keeping from one address to another (change of other address)

💡 Unlike the registered office address (which is publicly displayed and used for all official communications), the "other address" for record-keeping is separately disclosed to the ROC but does not replace the registered office. The LLP can maintain records at one or more such locations simultaneously.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the intimation of other address the same as changing the registered office?

No. These are two distinct filings. Changing the registered office (Form 15) updates the primary address of the LLP — the address where official communications are sent and which appears on MCA records as the LLP's address. Intimation of other address is a separate disclosure indicating that the LLP also maintains its books, records, or conducts business at an additional location — while the registered office itself does not change. Both the registered office and the other address(es) are then part of the MCA's records for the LLP.

Can an LLP's accounts be maintained at a Chartered Accountant's office?

Yes. It is common for LLPs — particularly smaller professional practices — to have their books of accounts maintained or compiled at their CA's office or accounting firm's premises. In such cases, the CA's office address should be intimated to the ROC as the other address where books are maintained. This ensures full compliance and transparency. The LLP's registered office address remains unchanged — only the record-keeping location is additionally disclosed.

What happens if a change in the other address occurs?

If the LLP changes the address at which it maintains its books of account or statutory records, a fresh intimation must be filed with the ROC reflecting the new "other address." Similarly, if the LLP no longer maintains records at the previously disclosed other address (e.g. after changing accounting firms), the ROC should be informed by cancelling the previous intimation. Keeping the ROC's records updated ensures no discrepancy during inspections or regulatory reviews.
