Form 11, Form 8, DIR-3 KYC and ITR — filed on time, so you never touch the ₹100/day penalty.
Disclaimer: Indicative estimate of government fees only — professional fees are not included. MCA filing fees for Form 8/11 depend on the contribution slab; confirm the exact fee on the MCA portal at filing.
Every LLP files these — every year
An LLP has a light but strict annual compliance calendar. Whether it trades or stays dormant, it must file its annual return, statement of accounts, keep partners' KYC current and file an income-tax return. Missing any of them attracts a ₹100/day penalty with no upper cap.
The LLP annual filing calendar
Four core filings run the LLP year. Statutory audit is the only variable — it kicks in solely when the LLP crosses a size threshold.
| Form 11 — Annual Return | 30 May |
| DIR-3 KYC of partners | 30 Sep |
| Form 8 — Account & Solvency | 30 Oct |
| Income Tax Return | 31 Jul / 31 Oct* |
| Annual turnover exceeds | ₹40,00,000 |
| — OR — Contribution exceeds | ₹25,00,000 |
| Below both thresholds | No audit |
What a year of compliance costs the government way
Filed on time, an LLP's government fees are nominal. The real cost is the late fee — ₹100 per day per form, with no upper cap.
Key filings explained
Form 11 — Annual Return
A summary of the LLP and its partners filed with the MCA, due by 30 May each year. It is compulsory for every LLP regardless of turnover or activity.
Form 8 — Statement of Account & Solvency
Declares the LLP's financial position and solvency, due by 30 October. It must be signed by the partners and certified where audit applies.
DIR-3 KYC
Annual KYC of every designated partner holding a DIN, due 30 September. Filing on time carries no fee; a lapse means a ₹5,000 reactivation fee and a deactivated DIN.
Statutory audit
Required only when turnover exceeds ₹40 lakh or contribution exceeds ₹25 lakh. Below both thresholds the LLP is audit-exempt, keeping annual cost low.
Questions people ask
Short answers on LLP Annual Compliance Cost. Tap a question to open it.
01What annual filings does an LLP have to make?
Form 11, the annual return, by 30 May; Form 8, the statement of account and solvency, by 30 October; the income-tax return by 31 July or 31 October if audit applies; and DIR-3 KYC for each designated partner in their due year.
02When does an LLP need an audit?
When turnover exceeds ₹40 lakh or contribution exceeds ₹25 lakh in a financial year. Below both thresholds the accounts need not be audited, though Form 8 is still filed.
03What is the penalty for late LLP filings?
Form 8 and Form 11 attract an additional fee of ₹100 per day per form with no cap. Because there is no ceiling, an LLP that has not filed for a few years often faces a larger penalty than the cost of closing it.
04Is compliance required for a dormant LLP?
Yes. Form 8, Form 11 and the income-tax return are due even with no transactions. This is the single most common reason inactive LLPs accumulate large additional fees.
05Is an LLP cheaper to run than a private limited company?
Usually yes — no mandatory audit below the thresholds, fewer meetings and no board-meeting formalities. But an LLP cannot raise equity funding easily, which is why most venture-backed businesses choose a company.
