LLP Compliance Calendar
Everything an LLP owes in a year, in one list. Most LLPs that get into trouble did not decide to skip a filing — they did not know it existed.
The full year
| What | Who it applies to | If missed |
|---|---|---|
| Form 11 — annual return | Every LLP, including dormant ones | Rs 100 per day, no upper limit |
| Form 8 — statement of account and solvency | Every LLP, including dormant ones | Rs 100 per day, no upper limit |
| Income tax return | Every LLP | Penalty, interest, and loss of carry-forward on losses |
| Tax audit | Above the turnover threshold | Separate penalty under the Income-tax Act |
| DIR-3 KYC | Every designated partner holding a DIN | Rs 5,000 and DIN deactivation, which blocks all other filings |
| Form 3 — agreement changes | Whenever the LLP agreement changes | Additional fees, and a register that contradicts your agreement |
| Form 4 — partner changes | Within 30 days of any change | Additional fees and an incorrect public record |
| GST returns | If registered | Late fee per return, and blocked input credit for your customers |
The one worth circling is DIR-3 KYC. It is free if filed on time, costs Rs 5,000 if not, and a deactivated DIN stops every other filing on this list. One partner forgetting a free form can freeze the whole LLP.

How LLPs actually get into trouble
Almost never by deciding to skip something. The pattern is consistent: business slows, the LLP goes quiet, the partners assume no activity means no obligation, and nothing is filed for two or three years. Then somebody needs a bank loan, or wants to close the LLP, or a partner wants out — and the accumulated position surfaces all at once.
Because the fee runs daily with no ceiling, the gap between finding out early and finding out late is measured in real money. If you are not sure where your LLP stands, that is worth checking this week rather than when someone else forces the question.
