LLP Compliance

Every LLP registered under the LLP Act, 2008 has ongoing filing obligations with the Registrar of Companies — regardless of whether it has done any business during the year.

Quick answer

LLP compliance covers two categories of ROC filings: mandatory annual filings (Form 11 – Annual Return, and Form 8 – Statement of Account & Solvency) that apply every financial year, and event-based filings that are triggered by changes such as a new partner, a change of registered office, a change in the LLP name, or a change to the LLP Agreement. Missing either type attracts a daily penalty that has no upper cap.

Key components

Two categories of LLP compliance

Understanding which bucket a filing falls into determines when and how often it's due.

📅

Annual Compliance

Form 11 and Form 8 are due every financial year regardless of turnover or business activity, with fixed statutory deadlines.

🔄

Event-Based Compliance

Triggered by a specific change — a new or outgoing partner, a change of address, or an amendment to the LLP Agreement.

⚠️

Penalty for Delay

Late filing of Form 11 or Form 8 attracts a penalty that accrues per day of delay, with no ceiling on the total amount.

Why choose us

Why LLP compliance gets missed

What sets our approach apart.

No reminder from the ROC

Unlike some tax filings, there's no automated notice before a due date — the obligation sits with the LLP and its partners.

'No activity' is not an exemption

Form 11 and Form 8 are due even in a year where the LLP had zero transactions.

Penalties compound daily

A delay of a few months can turn a small filing fee into a penalty running into tens of thousands of rupees.

FAQs

LLP Compliance questions answered

What people ask before engaging us.

Yes. Form 11 and Form 8 are mandatory every financial year irrespective of turnover or business activity.
Late filing of Form 11 or Form 8 attracts a per-day penalty that continues to accrue until the form is filed, with no maximum cap.
A tax audit or LLP Act audit becomes applicable once the LLP crosses prescribed turnover or contribution thresholds; below that, the accounts still need to be certified for Form 8.
Designated partners are personally responsible for ensuring the LLP's statutory filings are made on time.
