(B), (C) and (E) Only

(C) and (E) Only

Correct Answer:

(B), (C) and (E) Only

Explanation:

The correct answer is option (3)  :(B), (C) and (E) Only

(A) Separate Legal entity- This statement is true. LLP has a separate legal entity. Partners and LLP are distinct from each other like a company.

(B) Unlimited liability for one partner- This statement is not true. LLP comes with additional feature of partners liability being limited. LLP is different from a partnership as it operates like a partnership, but in a LLP each partner is protected from personal liability, except to the extent of his capital contribution in the LLP.

(C) Indian Partnership Act, 1932 is applicable- This statement is not true. Limited liability partnership Act, 2008 is applicable on LLP. This act came into effect from 31st March, 2009.

(D) Perpetual Succession-  This statement is true. LLP is a body corporate and a legal entity separate from its partners. It has perpetual succession like a limited liability company. The limit of partners in a LLP is not applicable unlike an ordinary partnership firm. The LLP Act, 2008 specifies that atleast one of the partners in the LLP is a citizen of India and an Indian national.

(E) Unlimited liability of partners- This statement is not true. LLP comes with additional feature of partners liability being limited. LLP is different from a partnership as it operates like a partnership, but in a LLP each partner is protected from personal liability, except to the extent of his capital contribution in the LLP.
