MCA has vide its circular no. 2/2016 clarified that Hindu Undivided Family or its Karta cannot become a partner or a designated partner of a Limited Liability Partnership. As per section 5 of the LLP Act, 2008 only an individual or a body corporate can become a partner in LLPs. Since HUFs are not treated as a body corporate it cannot become a partner in a LLP.
