Annual Return for LLP

Every Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) registered in India must meet specific annual compliance obligations as per the LLP Act, 2008 and Income Tax Act, 1961. Filing your LLP’s annual returns on time is not just a legal necessity—it is essential for maintaining credibility, avoiding penalties, and ensuring smooth business operations. Our expert-led LLP Annual Filing Services help you meet these obligations seamlessly, whether your LLP is actively trading, dormant, or just starting out.

What’s is LLP Annual Filing

LLPs are required to file two main forms with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA): Form 11, the annual return that details the structure and partners of the LLP, and Form 8, the Statement of Accounts and Solvency, which includes your financial summary. Form 11 must be filed by 30th May, and Form 8 by 30th October every financial year. Additionally, every LLP is required to file its Income Tax Return using Form ITR-5. The due date for filing depends on whether the LLP is subject to tax audit—31st July if no audit is needed, and 30th September if audit is applicable.

For LLPs involved in international transactions or specified domestic transactions, filing Form 3CEB, certified by a Chartered Accountant, is mandatory. In such cases, the tax return deadline is extended to 30th November. LLPs with turnover above ₹40 lakhs or capital contribution exceeding ₹25 lakhs must also get their accounts audited by a practicing CA, as per Income Tax provisions.

You’ll receive all necessary filing acknowledgements, payment receipts, and audit reports (if applicable), keeping your LLP legally compliant and ready for financial audits or due diligence.

Consequences for Delayed/Non-Filing

Failure to comply with these annual filing requirements can result in hefty penalties.Late filing of Form 11 or Form 8 incurs a fine of ₹100 per day with no upper limit, while delayed income tax returns can lead to penalties of up to ₹5,000 under Section 234F of the Income Tax Act. Non-filing of Form 3CEB can attract additional fines of ₹1,00,000 and more, depending on the nature and volume of the transactions.

What’s Included in Our LLP Annual Filing Service

📄 Form 11-Annual Return Filing

Summary of LLP’s management & partners

Form 11 is the annual return that every LLP must file with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA). It provides a summary of the LLP’s partner details, changes in management, and basic operational disclosures. Filing Form 11 by 30th May each year is mandatory, even if the LLP has not undertaken any business activity during the financial year. This ensures transparency in the LLP’s structure and helps avoid hefty late filing penalties.

📊 Form 8-Statement of Accounts & Solvency

Balance Sheet, P&L, and solvency declaration

Form 8 captures the financial position and solvency status of an LLP. It includes details like the Balance Sheet, Profit & Loss Account, and a declaration confirming the LLP’s solvency. The form must be filed by 30th October annually and is a key requirement to demonstrate financial health. LLPs with turnover exceeding ₹40 lakhs or capital contribution above ₹25 lakhs are also required to get their accounts audited by a Chartered Accountant.

💻 Income Tax Return Filing (ITR-5)

Preparation and e-filing with DSC

All LLPs are required to file their Income Tax Return using Form ITR-5, regardless of whether they generated income during the financial year. This return must be filed through the Income Tax Department’s portal using a Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) of the designated partner. The due date for ITR filing is 31st July if audit is not required, and 30th September if audit is applicable. Timely filing helps avoid penalties and keeps the LLP compliant with income tax regulations.

📚 Books of Accounts Review

Basic financial statement check

Before filing any statutory forms, a review of the LLP’s books of accounts is essential to ensure accuracy and completeness. This includes examining ledgers, trial balances, and financial statements to confirm that all transactions are properly recorded. A preliminary review helps identify any discrepancies early and ensures that filings are based on correct financial data, especially important for LLPs approaching audit thresholds.

✅ Tax Audit Support (if applicable)

Coordination with CA for audit and Form 3CD

LLPs that exceed the specified turnover or contribution limits are subject to a tax audit under Section 44AB of the Income Tax Act. Our team coordinates with a Chartered Accountant to complete the audit process and prepare Form 3CD, which must be submitted along with the tax return. We ensure all financial details are properly captured and submitted within the deadline, minimizing compliance risks and penalties.

🌍 Form 3CEB Filing (if applicable)

For LLPs with international or domestic related-party transactions

LLPs involved in international transactions or specified domestic transactions with associated enterprises must file Form 3CEB. This form reports the nature and value of such transactions and is certified by a practicing Chartered Accountant. Filing Form 3CEB accurately and on time—by 30th November—is crucial to meet India’s transfer pricing regulations and avoid significant penalties for non-disclosure.
