A compilation of all the ROC (LLP) Filing Due dates for Financial Year 2022-23 (AY 2023-24)
In India, it is crucial to comply with the necessary regulations for your business structure if it is registered. Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) is a type of business structure that requires a minimum of two members and has no limit on the maximum number of members. Compared to a Private Limited Company, the compliance requirements for an LLP are less, but it is still vital to keep track of all the significant statutory due dates for LLP annual filing. These include ROC filing, income tax filing, and GST filing. To ensure that all necessary compliances are met in a given financial year, an LLP must be well-prepared and keep track of important dates. Therefore, we have prepared a calendar containing all the essential statutory due dates for LLP annual filing for the Financial Year 2022-23 (AY 2023-24).
What is LLP Annual Filing?
LLP Annual Filing is a crucial process that every Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) must undertake. It involves the preparation and submission of two ROC forms to the Registrar of Companies each year.
The first form, Form LLP 11, is an Annual Return that must be filed within 60 days from the end of the financial year. The second form, Form LLP 8, is a Statement of Account & Solvency that must be filed within 30 days from the end of six months of the financial year.
LLPs must comply with statutory requirements such as Annual Return, Income Tax Return, Profit and Loss Account, and Balance Sheet, even if they do not conduct any business activities. Similar to companies, LLPs must maintain their financial year from 1st April to 31st March.
