Don’t Miss These LLP Annual Filing Compliances Deadlines in 2025
Whether you're managing a growing business or running a dormant firm, LLP annual filing compliance is something you simply can’t afford to ignore. Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs) in India are governed by the LLP Act, 2008, and the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) mandates specific filing requirements every year.
The consequences of missing compliance deadlines? Heavy penalties, disqualified partners, and even the possibility of the LLP being struck off the MCA records.
As 2025 unfolds, staying ahead of your annual compliance schedule can save you not only money, but also your LLP’s reputation and legal standing.
This article breaks down all the key LLP annual filing deadlines in 2025, what each form entails, and how to avoid last-minute rush and penalties.

Let’s dive deeper into what each of these filings means for your business.
Section 2: LLP Annual Filing Forms Explained
Form 11 – Annual Return
This form contains the summary of your LLP’s partners, capital contribution, and basic business structure.
Who should file? Every LLP registered before 1st April 2025
Due Date: 30th May 2025
Late Filing Penalty: ₹100 per day with no upper limit
Even LLPs with zero turnover must file Form 11. It’s a declaration of existence, not revenue.
Form 8 – Statement of Account and Solvency
This is your LLP’s financial health declaration—essentially a mini balance sheet that includes profit & loss statements and a solvency affirmation from designated partners.
Due Date: 30th October 2025
Requires: Digital signatures and certification by a Chartered Accountant
Penalty for Delay: ₹100 per day without cap
It’s one of the most critical documents that reflect your company’s financial credibility. Delays not only cost money but also dent the LLP’s reputation with vendors and stakeholders.
DIR-3 KYC – Director Identification Update
Every Designated Partner (DP) holding a DIN (Director Identification Number) must update their KYC annually.
Due Date: 30th September 2025
Penalty for Late Filing: ₹5,000 per DIN
Effect of Non-Filing: DIN gets deactivated; partner cannot act on behalf of LLP
ITR-5 – Income Tax Return
All LLPs, regardless of profit or revenue, must file Income Tax Returns under Form ITR-5.
Due Date (Non-Audit): 31st July 2025
Due Date (Audit Cases): 31st October 2025
Penalty for Delay: ₹5,000 to ₹10,000 under the Income Tax Act
If your LLP’s annual turnover exceeds ₹1 crore, you’ll also need a tax audit. In that case, the deadline extends to October.
Section 3: What Happens If You Miss LLP Compliance Deadlines?
Late or missed compliance filings can lead to major consequences. Here’s what’s at stake:
Late Filing Fees: ₹100/day for MCA forms like Form 8 and Form 11, with no upper limit.
Director Deactivation: If DIR-3 KYC is not filed, all business operations requiring that partner’s signature get stalled.
IT Scrutiny: Missing tax return deadlines may trigger scrutiny or loss of refund eligibility.
Loss of LLP Status: Repeated non-compliance may lead to strike-off proceedings by the ROC (Registrar of Companies).
Business Impact: Delays reduce investor trust, cause difficulty in applying for loans, and limit growth potential.
Section 4: LLP Compliance Myths You Should Stop Believing
Let’s bust some common myths that cost businesses real money every year:
Myth 1: “We haven’t started operations, so we don’t need to file.”
Fact: Even dormant LLPs must complete annual compliance.
Myth 2: “We’ll file everything at the end of the year.”
Fact: Each form has its own due date—missing even one can trigger heavy penalties.
Myth 3: “Compliance is only needed for tax purposes.”
Fact: MCA compliance is separate from tax and equally important for company status.
Section 5: How to Manage Your LLP Annual Filing Compliance Smoothly
