LLP compliance in India means the yearly filings and record-keeping an LLP must complete under the LLP Act, 2008 and the Income-tax Act. Every LLP must file Form 11 and Form 8 with the Registrar of Companies and file an income tax return each year, even if it had no business or turnover.
Last updated: October 2026. Due dates, fees and forms can change or be extended, so we confirm the current position before filing. This page is general information, not legal advice.
An LLP is a separate legal entity registered with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA). In return for limited liability, it must keep its public record up to date and report its finances every year. This is called LLP compliance, and it covers MCA filings, tax filings and, for larger LLPs, an audit.
The duty applies to every LLP, whether it is active, dormant or newly formed. The two annual ROC forms are Form 11 and Form 8. Alongside them the LLP files an income tax return, and TDS or GST returns if it is registered for those. Compliance is the responsibility of the LLP and its designated partners.
Missing a due date does not pause the obligation. An additional fee of ₹100 per day starts for each late form, and prolonged default can end with the LLP being struck off. For official forms and the company master data of your LLP, visit the Ministry of Corporate Affairs portal, and for tax filing the Income Tax e-filing portal.

Quick answers on LLP compliance in India.
LLP compliance is the set of filings and records a Limited Liability Partnership must maintain every year under the LLP Act, 2008, the Income-tax Act and other applicable laws. The main ones are Form 11 (annual return), Form 8 (statement of account and solvency) and the income tax return.
Yes. Form 11 and Form 8 must be filed every year even if the LLP had no turnover or activity. An income tax return is also generally required. If the LLP is no longer needed, it should be formally closed rather than left unfiled.
Form 11 is due within 60 days of the end of the financial year, which is 30 May for a 31 March year end. Form 8 is due within 30 days from the end of six months of the financial year, which is 30 October. Due dates can be extended by the MCA, so we confirm the current date before filing.
An additional fee of ₹100 per day applies for each form filed late, with no upper limit, and the fee runs until the form is filed. Continued default can also lead to penalties on the LLP and its designated partners and can result in the LLP being struck off. The rules can change, so we confirm the current position.
An audit of accounts is required under the LLP Act if the annual turnover exceeds ₹40 lakh or the contribution exceeds ₹25 lakh. A separate tax audit under the Income-tax Act may apply based on turnover and the nature of the business. We check both thresholds for your LLP.
An LLP generally files ITR-5. The usual due date is 31 July when no audit is needed and 31 October when accounts are audited, subject to any extension announced by the Income Tax Department.
These are filings triggered by a change, such as appointment or resignation of a partner or designated partner, a change in the LLP agreement, a change of registered office or a change of LLP name. Most must be filed with the Registrar within 30 days of the change.
Late fees keep accumulating, penalties can be imposed on the LLP and designated partners, the LLP can be marked as defaulting on the MCA records, and the Registrar can strike the LLP off the register. Clearing the backlog early costs less.
The LLP identification number (LLPIN), details of partners and designated partners, books of accounts or financial statements, bank statements, details of contribution, and digital signature certificates of the designated partners.
Yes. Overdue Form 11 and Form 8 can be filed for earlier years along with the applicable additional fees. We review the MCA record, list the years pending, and give a quote before filing.
