Ramneek and Madhu, two young entrepreneurs, founded "New Education Innovators LLP" under the Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008, with a focus on providing digital education solutions. Ramneek brought technical expertise, while Madhu managed the business operations. According to the LLP Agreement, both contributed equally and shared profits equally. After two years of growth, they decided to admit Amit, an industry expert, as a partner to expand their reach. Amit agreed to contribute additional capital and bring industry contacts. However, shortly after joining, Amit discovered that certain key compliance filings, including Form 11 (Annual Return) and Form 8 (Statement of Accounts and Solvency), were pending. Concerned, Amit wanted to understand his liability and insisted that the LLP immediately address the compliance issues. Meanwhile, Ramneek proposed to amend the LLP Agreement to reflect Amit's new profit-sharing ratio and allocate specific decision-making powers to him. As they worked through these matters, they consulted a legal advisor to understand how the Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008, impacted their responsibilities, liabilities, and compliance obligations. On the basis of above facts and by applying applicable provisions of the Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008 and the applicable Rules therein, choose the correct answer (one out of four) of the following Multiple Choice Questions given herein under:
Suggested Answer and Working Notes:
