LLP Complainces

✅ LLP Compliances – Explained in Simple Language

A Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) is easier than a company, but it STILL has some mandatory compliances every year.
Think of it like maintaining a car — service it regularly, and you’ll never face penalties.

Here’s everything an LLP must do, explained simply:

1️⃣ Maintain Basic Records

  • Just like any business, an LLP should keep:

✔ Income & expense details

✔ Invoices & bills

✔ Bank statements

✔ Partnership agreement copy

✔ Minutes of important decisions (not mandatory but good practice)

2️⃣ File Two Mandatory ROC Returns Every Year

  • Every LLP in India must file two forms with the Registrar of Companies (ROC) every year — even if it has zero business.

📌 Form 11 – Annual Return

  • • Tells the government “who the partners are and what changes happened.”
  • • Due Date: 30th May every year

📌 Form 8 – Statement of Accounts & Solvency

  • • Tells the government about the financial position of the LLP.
  • • Must be digitally signed by partners + a CA/CS.
  • • Due Date: 30th October every year
  • ⚠️ Penalty is ₹100 per day per form — no upper limit. So delay becomes very expensive.

3️⃣ Income Tax Return (ITR)

  • LLP is taxed like a partnership firm.

📌 File ITR-5

  • • Due Date:
  • o 31 July → If no audit
  • o 31 October → If audit is required

4️⃣ Audit Requirements

  • LLP audit is required only if:

Turnover > ₹40 lakh, or

Capital contribution > ₹25 lakh

  • If below this — no audit needed.

5️⃣ GST Compliances (If Registered)

  • If your LLP has GST registration:

✔ File GSTR-1 & GSTR-3B every month/quarter

✔ Maintain sales & purchase records

✔ Reconcile GST monthly

✔ Issue proper GST-compliant invoices

6️⃣ TDS Compliances (If Applicable)

  • If your LLP pays:

✔ Rent above ₹50,000/month

✔ Professional fees

✔ Contractor payments

✔ Salaries (where applicable)

  • …then it must deduct TDS, pay it monthly, and file quarterly TDS returns.

7️⃣ Other Optional/Business-Based Compliances

  • Not mandatory for all LLPs, but needed based on business type:

✔ Professional Tax (some states)

✔ MSME registration

✔ Shops & Establishment license

✔ PF/ESI if employees cross limits

✔ Sector-specific licenses (FSSAI, SEZ, etc.)

⭐ Quick Summary (Super Simple)

  • Every LLP must:

1️⃣ File Form 11 by 30 May

2️⃣ File Form 8 by 30 October

3️⃣ File Income Tax Return (ITR-5)

4️⃣ Do audit only if large LLP

5️⃣ Do GST/TDS only if applicable
