Annual Compliance Filing for LLP: Don't Let Deadlines Catch You Off Guard

Every LLP in India has to file two annual forms with the MCA and an income tax return, even if it did no business. Here is what to file, when, and what happens if you are late.

01What does an LLP have to file every year?

An LLP files Form 11, the annual return, and Form 8, the statement of account and solvency, with the Registrar of Companies. It also files its income tax return, usually ITR-5.

02Due dates at a glance

  • Form 11, annual return: 30 May
  • Form 8, statement of account and solvency: 30 October
  • Income tax return: 31 July, or 31 October if the accounts are audited

03What is the penalty for late filing?

The late fee for each LLP form is ₹100 per day, with no upper cap, until the form is filed. Two forms filed a year late can cost tens of thousands of rupees, even if the LLP earned nothing.

04Does an LLP need an audit?

An LLP must get its accounts audited if its turnover exceeds ₹40 lakh or its contribution exceeds ₹25 lakh. Below that, an audit is not mandatory under the LLP Act, though a tax audit may still apply.

05Other things to keep current

  • Partner KYC for designated partners
  • Changes in partners or registered office, filed within the prescribed time
  • The LLP agreement and any amendments
