LLP · Annual rhythm
What does our LLP have to file every year?
The short answer
Two filings anchor every LLP year, and neither waits for anything like an AGM: Form 11 (annual return) by 30 May, and Form 8 (statement of account and solvency) by 30 October. Late filing attracts additional fees under s.69 of the LLP Act, 2008 — get the exact amount from your CA. Income-tax filings run separately on top.

Questions founders actually ask
Our LLP did nothing all year — still file?
Yes, both forms, even for nil activity. Late filing attracts additional fees under s.69 of the LLP Act, 2008, regardless of turnover — get the exact amount from your CA; this is the most commonly overlooked LLP cost.
When does an LLP need an audit?
When contribution exceeds ₹25 lakh or turnover exceeds ₹40 lakh in the financial year. Below both thresholds, Form 8 carries a self-declaration instead.
Do LLPs file anything like MGT-7?
Form 11 is the LLP's annual return equivalent. There's no AGM concept — the dates are fixed calendar dates, which is simpler but less forgiving.
