INTRODUCTION
📑 What is Annual Compliance for LLP?
A Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) is a separate legal entity under the law and must maintain its active status by filing annual compliance with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), irrespective of its turnover or level of business activity.
Every LLP must file two key sets of returns every year:
1️⃣ Annual Return (Form 11) – contains the basic details of the LLP, its partners, and compliance status.
2️⃣ Statement of Accounts and Solvency (Form 8) – discloses the LLP’s financial position, including assets, liabilities, and statement of solvency.
These filings provide a record of the LLP’s financial activities for each financial year. If an LLP fails to file the mandatory annual returns, an additional fee of ₹100 per day of delay will be charged until the actual date of filing. Non-compliance can lead to heavy penalties and even disqualification of the designated partners.

✨ Advantages of Annual Compliance for LLP
Enhances Credibility
Regular compliance strengthens the LLP’s reputation and reliability. The MCA portal’s LLP Master Data shows the compliance status, which can be crucial for securing loans, tenders, or government approvals.
Creates a Record of Financial Worth
Annual filings provide transparency about the LLP’s financial position, allowing stakeholders, partners, or investors to verify its economic worth before entering into significant projects, contracts, or partnerships.
Maintains Active Status & Avoids Penalties
Non-compliance for consecutive years can result in the LLP being declared inactive or struck off by the Registrar. Designated partners can also be disqualified from holding future appointments. Timely annual compliance helps maintain the LLP’s active status and avoids heavy late fees or legal consequences.
Facilitates Easy Conversion or Closure
Up-to-date annual filings are essential when converting an LLP into another business structure (e.g., Private Limited Company). Similarly, if an LLP is to be closed, the Registrar will require proof of regular compliance to process the closure smoothly. Even inactive LLPs must file annual returns to avoid extra charges during closure.

Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions before reaching out? Here are quick answers to some of the most common queries we receive about contacting us, consultations, and service inquiries.
Yes! Annual compliance filing is mandatory for every LLP right from its incorporation. After the close of its first financial year, the LLP must file both Form 11 (Annual Return) and Form 8 (Statement of Accounts & Solvency) within the prescribed time limits.
➡️ This is compulsory regardless of turnover, number of transactions, or commercial activity undertaken.
If an LLP fails to file its annual compliance forms on time, it must pay an additional Government fee of ₹ 100 per day of delay — with no maximum cap on the penalty.
➡️ Continuous failure to comply can result in the RoC striking off the LLP from its register.
➡️ Additional penalties may also be imposed on the LLP and its designated partners.
Audit of books of accounts is mandatory for LLPs that meet any of the following:
✅ Annual turnover exceeds ₹ 40 Lakh
✅ Total partner contribution exceeds ₹ 25 Lakh
➡️ If the LLP does not cross these limits, only statements signed by the designated partners are sufficient for filing.
The financial year for every LLP ends on 31st March. The duration of the first financial year depends on the month of incorporation:
✔️ Incorporated between 1st April and 30th September:
The LLP must close its financial year on 31st March of the following calendar year.
📌 Example: If your LLP is incorporated on 1st May 2025, its first financial year will end on 31st March 2026.
✔️ Incorporated between 1st October and 31st March:
The LLP can choose to close its financial year either on the coming 31st March or the next one.
📌 Example: If your LLP is incorporated on 30th October 2025, you can close your first financial year on either 31st March 2026 or 31st March 2027.
