Under section 7 of the Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008, at least one designated partner of an LLP shall be a resident in India, and a person is treated as resident in India if he has stayed in India for a period of at least -

Section 7(1) read with the explanation thereto of the Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008 requires every LLP to have at least two designated partners who are individuals, and at least one of them must be a resident in India. A person is a resident in India for this purpose if he has stayed in India for a period of not less than one hundred and eighty-two days during the immediately preceding financial year. The requirement ensures that at least one person available for statutory compliance physically resides in India. One hundred and twenty, ninety and three hundred sixty-five days are thresholds used in other statutes, and one hundred and eighty-three days does not match the statutory period description, so one hundred and eighty-two days in the immediately preceding financial year is the correct figure.
