Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) is often the preferred choice for first-time founders, especially in the service sector, where external funding is not required. Unlike private limited companies, which rely on equity funding, an LLP offers a simpler structure with fewer compliance requirements and lower operational costs. Governed by the LLP Act, 2008, it provides limited liability protection while ensuring ease of operation with minimal regulatory burdens.

Regardless of business activity, ROC Annual Filing is mandatory for all LLPs. Form 11 (Annual Return) and Form 8 (Statement of Accounts & Solvency) must be filed yearly to maintain compliance and keep financial details updated with the Registrar of Companies (ROC) and Income tax filing depends on turnover and audit requirements—non-audited LLPs must file ITR-5 by July 31st, while audited LLPs have until September 30th to comply. DIR-3 KYC is essential for partners with DINs, ensuring active status and avoiding penalties.

First Financial Year Compliance for Newly Incorporated LLPs

For LLPs incorporated on or after October 1st of a financial year, the first financial year can extend up to 18 months, allowing the LLP to close its accounts on either the immediate 31st March or the next 31st March. This flexibility enables newly incorporated LLPs to optimize their compliance filings and financial reporting with minimal cost.

In such cases, the LLP must file Form 11 (Annual Return) and Form 8 (Statement of Accounts & Solvency) for the extended financial period in the subsequent compliance cycle. This provision helps ease the initial compliance burden, giving LLPs additional time for financial structuring and operational setup.
