LLP Annual Filing
Every LLP files two short forms with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs each year. Form 11 is the annual return — the current list of partners and what each one has contributed — due by 30 May.
What this filing covers
Every LLP files two short forms with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs each year. Form 11 is the annual return — the current list of partners and what each one has contributed — due by 30 May. Form 8 is the statement of accounts and a declaration that the LLP can pay its bills — due by 30 October.
The bulk of the work is preparation: reconciling each partner's contribution against the LLP Agreement, drafting the solvency statement, and getting partner sign-offs. Once that's done the two filings themselves take a single day.
Designated partners also refresh their KYC with the Ministry every three years. When that year comes around, the KYC filing is bundled in at no extra professional fee.
Common reasons founders engage this
- The LLP has been incorporated for at least one full financial year and is active.
- The 30 May (Form 11) or 30 October (Form 8) deadline is approaching.
- A previous year's Form 11 or Form 8 was missed and you want to catch up before the late-fee multiplier climbs higher.
- A designated partner's DIR-3 KYC is due (every three years from the previous filing).
Documents you will need to send
Most of these can be scanned or photographed from your phone. Everything required is listed in the engagement letter, so nothing is collected later as a surprise.
- Profit-and-loss account and balance sheet for the financial year that has just ended.
- Bank statements for the year if the accounts haven't been finalised yet.
- Current LLP Agreement, including every amendment, so partner contributions can be reconciled.
- Updated contribution position for each partner — cash brought in or withdrawn during the year.
- Email and mobile of each designated partner for the Ministry's OTP step.
