Key requirements for choosing a valid LLP name in India
Every LLP registered in India must have "LLP" at the end of its name. This distinguishes it from private limited companies and partnerships.
The proposed name must not be identical or too similar to any existing company, LLP, or trademark. MCA checks phonetic similarity.
An LLP must have at least 2 designated partners (natural persons). At least one must be resident in India. DPIN required for each.
Words like "National", "Union", "Government", "Bank" (without RBI approval), "Insurance" (without IRDAI approval) are prohibited.
An LLP name cannot contain "Private Limited", "Pvt Ltd", "Limited", "Inc.", "PLC" or any other entity suffix other than "LLP".
"International", "Global", "India", "Bharat" require demonstrated multi-country or pan-India operations and higher capital.

7 steps to register your LLP on MCA — typically completed in 15–20 days
Designated Partners need DPIN (Director Identification Number) via DIR-3 form on MCA.
Digital Signature Certificate is mandatory for all designated partners for e-filing.
Reserve your LLP name via the RUN-LLP web service (₹200 fee, valid 90 days).
File Form for Incorporation of LLP (FiLLiP) with subscriber details and consent.
Draft and file LLP Agreement (Form 3) within 30 days of incorporation — defines rights and duties of partners.
MCA issues Certificate of Incorporation with LLPIN. LLP is now a legal entity.
Obtain PAN, TAN, open bank account, GST registration (if applicable), Udyam registration.
"Sharma & Associates LLP" or "Mehta Legal Partners LLP" — partner names + professional descriptor work very well for CA, law, and advisory firms.
Run a name search on MCA portal AND IP India before finalizing. A rejected name costs ₹200 re-filing fee and delays registration.
MCA may reject phonetically similar names to existing LLPs or companies. Add a unique coined word alongside the professional descriptor.
Secure a matching .com or .in domain before registering. Ideally do this even before filing RUN-LLP.
Legal and professional services fall in Class 45. Register your LLP name as a trademark in Class 45 after incorporation for complete IP protection.
Unlike companies, LLPs have no minimum paid-up capital requirement. Partners can contribute in kind (services, property) in addition to cash.
