What are LLP Annual Return Filing ?

All you need to know

LLP Annual Filing is a yearly compliance task for all LLPs registered in India. Unlike companies, LLPs have a relatively simpler filing structure, but compliance is still mandatory, even if there is no turnover or activity during the year.

Every LLP needs to file two key forms:

  • Form 11 : Annual Return of LLP (within 60 days of the end of financial year)
  • Form 8 : Statement of Account & Solvency (by 30th October every year)

What Does LLP Annual Filing Include?

An LLP has to submit the following:

  • Form 11: Basic details of the partners, contributions, and business details.
  • Form 8: Statement of Assets & Liabilities and Income & Expenditure.
  • Income Tax Return: Separately filed on the Income Tax portal.

If the turnover exceeds ₹40 lakhs or contribution is over ₹25 lakhs, the accounts must be audited by a Chartered Accountant.

What Are the Common Challenges in LLP Annual Filing?

  • Confusion about due dates and forms: Many LLPs struggle to keep track of the exact deadlines and the specific forms required for annual filing.
  • Technical errors on the MCA portal: Glitches or server issues on the MCA portal often disrupt the smooth submission of forms.
  • Missing digital signatures (DSC) or professional certification: Filing gets delayed when partners do not have valid DSCs or if a practicing professional has not certified the forms.
  • Miscalculations in financial data leading to form rejection: Errors in preparing financial statements can cause forms to be rejected by the MCA system.
  • Non-availability of partners for signing the forms: Delays occur when designated partners are unavailable to review and digitally sign the documents.
  • Last-minute rush increasing the chances of mistakes: Filing at the eleventh hour often leads to avoidable errors due to time pressure and lack of review.
