LLP Form 11 Late Filing Penalty

A fixed date, not an AGM-relative one

An LLP has no AGM and no AOC-4/MGT-7 — its Annual Return, Form 11, is due on a fixed date every year, 30 May, regardless of when (or whether) the partners meet. A filing due 30 May 2026 and made 28 August 2026 accrues ₹9,000 at the same ₹100/day, no-cap rate that applies to company forms.

This fixed-date structure makes Form 11 easier to plan around than a company's AGM-relative forms, but also easier to overlook precisely because it doesn't move with any other event on the compliance calendar.

Form 11 is required even for a dormant LLP

Form 11 is required even where the LLP had zero business activity during the year — "dormant" is not the same as "exempt" under LLP law, and a nil-activity LLP that skips its Annual Return accrues the same ₹100/day penalty as one that was fully operational.

Form 8, the LLP's other annual filing (statement of account and solvency, due 30 October), is penalised on the identical structure and independently of Form 11 — see the calculator below to total both together across multiple years.

LLP compliance is often treated as an afterthought behind company filings in a mixed practice, precisely because it has no AGM season to anchor it on a firm's calendar — building Form 11 and Form 8 into the same recurring review as AOC-4 and MGT-7, rather than tracking LLPs separately or informally, is what actually prevents a multi-year LLP backlog from accumulating unnoticed.
