Filings
All 5 annual compliance obligations for every LLP — Form 8 (Statement of Accounts), Form 11 (Annual Return), DIR-3 KYC Web, DIR-3 KYC, and DIN Reactivation. CA-managed MCA V3 filing before every deadline. Avoid penalties up to ₹5 lakh and DIN deactivation.
Annual Compliance — Every LLP Must File These 5 Forms
Unlike companies (which have 8–12 annual filings), LLPs have a leaner compliance calendar — but missing any of these 5 filings carries serious consequences: uncapped daily penalties, DIN/DPIN deactivation, and MCA strike-off proceedings against the LLP. Every LLP — active or dormant, profit-making or loss-making — must file Form 8, Form 11, and maintain current KYC for all Designated Partners every year without exception.
Even a Dormant LLP Must File — No Exemption for Inactive LLPs
A dormant LLP with zero transactions still has to file Form 8 (with nil accounts), Form 11 (Annual Return), and DIR-3 KYC Web for its Designated Partners. There is no "active business" condition for compliance. The only way to escape annual filings legally is to formally close the LLP by filing Form 24 (Strike Off). TaxClue manages annual filings for dormant LLPs at a minimal retainer fee — far lower than the accumulated penalties of non-filing.
Form 8, Form 11, DIR-3 KYC Web, DIR-3 KYC & DIN Reactivation
Form 8 — Statement of Accounts & Solvency 30 OCT
Form 8 is the annual financial statement filing of an LLP — the equivalent of filing accounts with the Registrar. It contains the LLP's Statement of Accounts (Balance Sheet and Profit & Loss statement) and a Statement of Solvency — a declaration by the Designated Partners that the LLP is solvent. Filed for the financial year ending 31st March, due by 30th October. If the LLP's turnover exceeds ₹40 lakhs or contribution exceeds ₹25 lakhs, the accounts must be audited by a CA before Form 8 is filed.
Form 11 — Annual Return of LLP 30 MAY
Form 11 is the LLP's Annual Return — a snapshot of its key information as of 31st March each year. It captures the number of partners, names and DPINs of Designated Partners, total contribution of all partners (by body corporate and individual), and the total obligation of contribution. Filed by 30th May — 2 months after the financial year end. If the LLP's annual turnover exceeds ₹5 crore, Form 11 must be certified by a CA or CS.
DIR-3 KYC Web — Annual KYC for Designated Partners 30 SEP
DIR-3 KYC Web is the annual KYC verification that every individual holding a DIN or DPIN must complete by 30th September every year. It is a quick web-based process — the holder logs in to the MCA V3 portal using their DIN/DPIN, verifies their mobile number and email via OTPs, and confirms their KYC details. No physical documents need to be uploaded unless there is a change in details.

How TaxClue Manages All 5 Filings for Your LLP
April — File Form 11 (Annual Return)
TaxClue collects the LLP's partner details and contribution summary as of 31st March. Form 11 is prepared and filed on MCA V3 well before the 30th May deadline. For LLPs with turnover above ₹5 crore, CA/CS certification is arranged. SRN and acknowledgement delivered to the client.
April–August — Prepare Accounts for Form 8
TaxClue's CA team prepares the LLP's financial statements — Balance Sheet and Profit & Loss account — for the financial year ended 31st March. For LLPs above the audit threshold, the accounts are audited by TaxClue's CA and the audit report is signed. For below-threshold LLPs, accounts are prepared and certified by the Designated Partners.
September — DIR-3 KYC Web for All Designated Partners
By mid-September, TaxClue sends reminders and co-ordinates DIR-3 KYC Web completion for all Designated Partners. The web KYC requires each DP to log in to MCA V3 and verify via OTP on their registered mobile and email. TaxClue guides each DP through the process and confirms completion before the 30th September deadline.
September–October — File Form 8 (Statement of Accounts)
The completed and (if required) audited financial statements are uploaded to Form 8 on MCA V3. Both Designated Partners sign using their DSCs. If accounts were audited, the CA also signs. Form 8 is filed before 30th October. TaxClue targets filing by 20th October to allow a safety buffer for any MCA technical issues.
Year-Round — Handle New KYC and DIN Reactivations
New Designated Partners require DIR-3 KYC (form) in their first year. Any DP with changed details (new mobile, email, or address) requires DIR-3 KYC (form) instead of Web KYC. Any deactivated DIN/DPIN is restored via DIR-3 KYC Form with ₹5,000 fee. TaxClue identifies which process applies to each DP at the start of every compliance cycle.
