Every Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) in India, whether active or dormant, must fulfil specific yearly legal requirements set by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA). These are known as LLP annual compliance obligations. Staying compliant not only helps avoid penalties but also ensures that your business maintains its legal status and credibility throughout each financial year.

At Bright Advis, we offer end-to-end support for LLP annual filing, from document preparation to online submission of Form 11 (LLP Annual Return), LLP Form 8 (Statement of Account and Solvency), Income Tax Returns, and other relevant filings. Our services are structured to make your compliance journey smooth, timely, and fully error-free throughout each financial year.

Introduction to LLP Annual Compliance

Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs) are a preferred business structure in India for small and medium enterprises due to their flexibility, limited liability protection, and minimal compliance burden compared to private limited companies. However, the law still mandates specific annual returns and documentation.

LLP annual compliance ensures that your firm remains in ‘Active’ status on the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) portal and avoids heavy late fees and disqualification of designated partners. Even LLPs with zero turnover must file annual forms to avoid penalties. The annual compliance for LLP is governed by the Limited Liability Partnership Act and includes various forms and financial statements for each financial year.

What is LLP Annual Filing?

LLP annual filing refers to the submission of statutory documents and returns each financial year to the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) and Income Tax Department. The three key compliance filings are:

  • LLP Form 8 (Statement of Account & Solvency): Declares the LLP’s financial position. Due by October 30th.
