LLP Annual Compliance

Form 11 (Annual Return) + Form 8 (Accounts) + Income Tax Return

Validity: Annual compliance cycle (April to October each year)Handled by verified compliance experts. 100% online process.

What is LLP Annual Compliance?

Stay compliant with annual MCA filings for your LLP — Form 11 by 30 May, Form 8 by 30 October, and ITR-5 by October. Avoid ₹100/day penalties that accumulate with no upper cap.

Beyond MCA filings, LLPs must also file income tax returns annually. LLPs with any foreign investment (including foreign partners) require RBI compliance. We manage your entire compliance calendar — from bookkeeping and partner KYC to audit (where applicable) and MCA filing.

Who Needs LLP Annual Compliance?

Every LLP registered in India, regardless of whether it has commenced operations. A dormant LLP with nil transactions still needs to file Form 11 and Form 8 every year.

What's Included

  • Form 11 — Annual Return of Partners (due 30 May)
  • Form 8 — Statement of Accounts and Solvency (due 30 October)
  • ITR-5 income tax return filing
  • Director KYC (DIR-3 KYC) for all designated partners
  • Statutory audit coordination (if turnover > ₹40 lakh)
  • Compliance calendar and deadline reminders

⚠️ Penalty for Non-Compliance

Penalty for late Form 11 or Form 8 filing is ₹100 per day per form with no cap. An LLP that fails to file for three consecutive years is liable to be struck off by the ROC under Section 75 of the LLP Act — and its designated partners face disqualification from holding DIN.
