Get LLP Compliance SupportWhat is LLP Compliance?
Every Limited Liability Partnership registered in India must meet ongoing compliance under the LLP Act, 2008 and the Income Tax Act, regardless of turnover or activity. LLP compliance falls into two broad buckets — annual filings that recur every year, and event-based filings triggered by changes such as a new partner, a change of address, or an amendment to the LLP agreement.
The two core annual filings are the Annual Return in Form 11 and the Statement of Account and Solvency in Form 8, along with the income-tax return. Missing these attracts a daily additional fee, which can grow large over time. We manage the full compliance calendar so nothing slips.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the annual compliance requirements for an LLP?
Every LLP must file the Annual Return in Form 11 and the Statement of Account and Solvency in Form 8 each year, along with its income-tax return, regardless of turnover or business activity.
Does an LLP with no business activity still need to file?
Yes. A registered LLP must file its annual returns even if it has had no business or turnover during the year, otherwise additional fees and compliance issues accumulate.
What is the difference between Form 11 and Form 8?
Form 11 is the annual return covering details of partners and the LLP, while Form 8 is the statement of account and solvency reporting the financial position and a declaration of solvency.
What happens if an LLP misses its filings?
Missed filings attract a daily additional fee that keeps increasing, and continued default can lead to the LLP and its designated partners being treated as non-compliant.
What are event-based LLP compliances?
Event-based compliances are filings triggered by specific changes, such as a change in partners, registered office, or the LLP agreement, which must be reported within the prescribed time.
