LLP Compliance Form 11, Form 8, and tax — all filed on time.

End-to-end compliance services for Limited Liability Partnerships in India — Form 11 annual return, Form 8 statement of accounts, income tax return, tax audit, GST, TDS, designated partner DIN KYC, LLP agreement amendments, and ongoing MCA and FEMA compliance.

The Limited Liability Partnership is a hybrid business structure introduced in India by the Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008. It combines the operational and tax flexibility of a partnership with the limited liability and separate legal personality of a company. The LLP is governed by its LLP Agreement between partners, administered through the Ministry of Corporate Affairs by way of designated partners holding Director Identification Numbers, and is required to maintain books of account and file periodic returns with the Registrar of Companies in much the same way as a private limited company.

The two principal MCA filings for every LLP are Form 11 — the annual return capturing details of partners, capital contribution, and changes during the year, filed within 60 days from the close of the financial year — and Form 8 — the statement of accounts and solvency capturing the LLP's financial position, filed within 30 days from the end of six months from the close of the financial year. Beyond these, an LLP must comply with the Income Tax Act including return filing and tax audit, GST and TDS where applicable, FEMA in the case of foreign contribution under Forms LLP-I and LLP-II, designated partner DIN KYC, and event-based filings on changes in partners, registered office, contribution, or LLP Agreement.

Our LLP compliance practice acts as the long-term compliance partner for LLPs of every size — professional services firms, fund managers, family investment LLPs, technology startups, and trading entities. We handle MCA filings (Form 11, Form 8, event-based forms), Income Tax Act compliance, tax audit, GST and TDS, LLP Agreement drafting and amendments, supplementary deeds on partner changes and contribution changes, FEMA reporting where applicable, and conversion to or from LLP structure where the business outgrows the form.
