What are the qualifications for becoming a partner in a LLP?

Any individual or body corporate may be a partner in a LLP. However an individual shall not be capable of becoming a partner of a LLP, if—

(a) he has been found to be of unsound mind by a Court of competent jurisdiction and the finding is in force;

(b) he is an undischarged insolvent; or

(c) he has applied to be adjudicated as an insolvent and his application is pending.

Yes, Body Corporate does not have any other definition other than that is defined in the Companies Act. So, the Body Corporate, as per the reply provided by Mr. Vishal is applicable her in the LLP case.
