LLP Annual Filling

Limited liability partnerships (LLPs) are required to meet fewer criteria for compliance on filing annual returns, in comparison to private limited companies. LLPs are required to provide information related to the statement of accounts, and returns, on an annual basis. Penalties, however, are huge for failure to comply. Entities that don’t provide the requisite information are fined heavily, with penalties that can go up to Rs. 5 lakhs.

Checklist items for Filing of Annual Compliance

  • Annual returns need to be filed with the Registrar of Companies.
  • Annual returns to be filed as per the prescribed format of LLP Form 11.
  • This is required to be filed within 60 days from the close of the financial year, or the 30th of May of each year.
  • The LLP annual compliance has to be met by each and every registered LLP even if there is no business activity. In fact, it has to be met even if the LLP has been closed down and whether or not a business bank account exists.
