Process of LLP Annual Compliance Filing

Step-1: Determine ROC Returns Applicability vs. ITR Filings

Annual filings involve ROC and Income Tax Returns filings. The need to file Form-11 or Form-8 depends on your LLP’s incorporation date. For LLPs incorporated on or after 1st October 2022, ROC Returns are optional for FY 2022-23. However, ITR filing remain mandatory in all cases.

Step-2: Verify Validity Of Designated Partners' Digital Signatures

The LLP’s ROC Annual Returns (Form 11 & Form 8) and Income-tax Returns are electronically filed and authenticated by the designated partners’ digital signatures. Ensure these signatures are valid; if expired, initiate the renewal process.

Step-3: Obtain Comprehensive Bank Statements and Classify Transactions

For accounting, procure your LLP’s complete bank statement for the relevant financial year, spanning from 1st April to 31st March. It’s recommended to provide details of the party and transaction nature against each bank statement entry.

Step-4: Reconcile Your Books and Confirm Balances with Parties

Accumulate all invoices and expense bills. Given that India follows an accrual accounting system, include all invoices or statements even if unpaid. Then, reconcile with GST and TDS Returns. Request ledgers from significant parties and reconcile the balance as of 31st March for financial statement accuracy.

Step 5: Reach Out to Us, and We'll Take It From There

Congratulations on reaching this step. Now, let your consultants prepare the statement of accounts and solvency for your LLP. After confirming the final reports, we’ll assist you further in filing your LLP’s ROC and Income Tax Returns.

File Form 11 (Annual Return of LLP)

Each LLP is obligated to file an annual return using Form-11 to the ROC within 60 days of the financial year’s conclusion. As noted in the applicability section, LLPs incorporated up to 30th September must file their annual return to the ROC using the designated Form-11 in the following financial year. The due date for Form-11 filing is 30th May 2023 for LLPs established during FY 2022-23 or earlier. This annual filing obligation is mandatory for all LLPs, regardless of business transactions, turnover, or activities.
The aim of LLP annual return filing using Form-11 is to report any significant changes in the LLP during the past financial year, such as changes in registered address or partners. Designated partners are collectively and individually responsible for submitting the LLP’s annual return. The government fee for Form 11 filing is Rs. 50/- only, but if the form 11 is filed late then late filing fee would be applicable which is completely avoidable.
Form-11 is used to report key details about the LLP’s operations during the financial year. It includes information about the LLP’s partners, their contributions, changes in management, and changes in the registered office address. It is also used to report the details of any new business agreements entered into by the LLP and any alterations to previous agreements. Form-11 is essentially a comprehensive update on the status and activities of the LLP, allowing the ROC to maintain up-to-date records.

File Form 8 (Statement of Account & Solvency of the LLP)

Every LLP must file two annual returns with the ROC: Form-11 and Form-8. Form-8 reports the financial standing and a statement of Account & Solvency of the LLP to the Registrar of Companies. This form requires the LLP to provide critical financial data and a declaration under the MSME Act. It serves as the LLP’s assertion to the ROC of its robust financial position and its capability to fulfill its liabilities or debts. Consequently, it’s essential to prepare the financial report before initiating the Form 8 filing to the ROC.
Form-8 includes details about the LLP’s assets and liabilities, loans and advances, and cash flows during the financial year. It also reports the partners’ contributions and any significant changes to the LLP’s financial structure.
The government fee for filing Form 8 is Rs. 50/- only. However, in case of non-filing, a late filing fee would be levied for each day of delay. The Statement of Solvency in Form 8 must be digitally signed by at least one designated partner and a practicing professional such as a CA, CS, or CMA

Filing of Income Tax Return of the LLP

As per the Income Tax Act, an LLP is a taxable entity and treated similarly to a partnership firm. The Income Tax Return (ITR) filing for the assessment year 2023-24 is due and obligatory for all LLPs established on or before 31st March 2023 (FY 2022-23). The following steps detail the process required for filing your LLP’s ITR

Preparation of LLP’s Statement of Accounts:
The accounting process of the LLP is the first step towards preparing the financial statements. While finalising the Books, it’s essential to comply with the provisions of the LLP Act and the Income Tax Act, 1961.

Computation of Taxable Income:
Relevant income tax sections should be examined to determine whether a specific expense is allowed or disallowed under sections 28-44. The LLP’s self-assessment Income Tax should be paid online via the Income Tax Portal. On the portal, select Challan Number – 280 and follow the on-screen instructions.

Display of BIS CRS Mark:
Once the BIS CRS Licence is granted, the product and packaging both, must display the standard ISI mark along with the unique R-Number. However, if it is not feasible to display the mark on the product due to size constraints, it may be displayed on the packaging only. For products with a display screen, the provision of an e-labelling is also available.

Statutory or Tax Audit of the LLP

An audit is a crucial aspect of LLP annual compliance, ensuring financial transparency and adherence to regulatory standards. Different types of audits apply to LLPs under different circumstances, including Statutory Audit, MAT Audit, Tax Audit, and GST Audit.
