LLP Annual Compliance
Form 11, Form 8 and ITR-5 filed on time, every time — protect your LLP from the uncapped ₹100/day penalty.
- Escape the ₹100/Day Trap
- Designated Partner Protection
- Audit Clarity
What is LLP Annual Compliance?
Every LLP — active or dormant — must file two MCA returns each year: Form 11 (Annual Return) by 30 May and Form 8 (Statement of Account & Solvency) by 30 October, plus its income tax return ITR-5. There are no exemptions for nil turnover.
The penalty regime is the harshest in the MCA system: ₹100 per day per form with no maximum. LLPs that ignore filings for two-three years routinely face lakhs in late fees — often more than the cost of running the LLP itself.
Taxwapsi handles the full cycle: books finalisation, both MCA forms, DSC-signed filings, audit determination (mandatory above ₹40 lakh turnover or ₹25 lakh contribution), partner KYC and ITR-5 — at one fixed annual fee with deadline guarantees.
Expert Pro Tip
Form 11 is due 30 May — barely two months after year-end and long before most LLPs think about compliance. Set up filing in April; it is the deadline LLPs miss most.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the LLP annual filing deadlines?
Form 11 by 30 May, Form 8 by 30 October, ITR-5 by 31 July (or 31 October if audit applies). These apply to every LLP registered on or before 30 September of the previous year, regardless of activity.
What is the penalty for late Form 8 or Form 11?
₹100 per day per form with no cap (small LLPs now get partially reduced slabs under the 2022 amendment rules, but delays still run into tens of thousands quickly). The fee must be paid before the form can even be filed.
When is audit mandatory for an LLP?
When annual turnover exceeds ₹40 lakh or partner contribution exceeds ₹25 lakh. Below both thresholds, Form 8 carries a declaration by partners instead. Tax audit u/s 44AB applies separately above its own turnover limits.
My LLP did nothing all year — can I skip filing?
No. Nil-activity LLPs must still file both forms and the ITR. If you want to stop compliance permanently, consider striking off the LLP (Form 24) — we handle closures too.
What is Form 11 vs Form 8?
Form 11 is the annual return — a summary of partners and contributions as on 31 March. Form 8 is the financial statement — statement of solvency, assets and liabilities, income and expenditure. Both are mandatory and independent.
Do LLPs need DIR-3 KYC?
Yes — every designated partner holding a DIN/DPIN must complete DIR-3 KYC by 30 September each year, else the DIN deactivates with a ₹5,000 reactivation fee.
How is an LLP taxed?
Flat 30% on profits plus surcharge/cess. No dividend distribution tax — profit share withdrawn by partners is exempt in their hands. Remuneration and interest to partners are deductible within Section 40(b) limits.
What if my LLP has not filed for past years?
File overdue forms with accumulated late fees before they grow further — there is no waiver scheme running permanently. We compute the exact liability, file all pending years and bring the LLP current.
