LLP Form 11 Late Fees & Penalty — Full Multiplier Table (2026)
LLP Form 11 late fee — the short answer
LLP Form 11 (Annual Return) is due 30 May every year. If you miss it there is no flat ₹100-per-day charge — since the LLP (Amendment) Rules, 2022, the late fee is a multiplier of the normal filing fee that rises with the delay: 1× up to 15 days late, 10× (small LLP) or 20× (other LLP) once you are past three months, 15×/30× beyond six months, and a flat ₹10 or ₹20 per day on top once the delay crosses 360 days. There is no upper cap.
What is Form 11?
Form 11 is the Annual Return that every LLP must file with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, even if there was no business activity during the year.
- Due date: 30 May every year (within 60 days of the close of the financial year)
- Who must file: every registered LLP, including dormant and non-operational LLPs
- Normal fee: based on the LLP’s total contribution — ₹50 for contribution up to ₹1 lakh, rising with the slab
Form 11 late filing fee — full multiplier table
The additional fee is a multiple of the normal filing fee, set by how late the form is and whether the LLP is a “small LLP” or not.
- Up to 15 days late: 1× normal fee — small LLP and other LLP
- 16 to 30 days: 2× (small LLP) / 4× (other LLP)
- 31 to 60 days: 4× / 8×
- 61 to 90 days: 6× / 12×
- 91 to 180 days: 10× / 20×
- 181 to 360 days: 15× / 30×
- Beyond 360 days: 15× + ₹10 per day (small LLP) / 30× + ₹20 per day (other LLP)
A “small LLP” is one with contribution up to ₹25 lakh and turnover up to ₹40 lakh. Every other LLP is charged at the higher rate.
Worked examples
Example 1 — 100 days late, other LLP, normal fee ₹50. A 100-day delay falls in the 91-to-180-day band, so the multiplier is 20×. Late fee = ₹50 × 20 = ₹1,000.
Example 2 — 400 days late, other LLP, normal fee ₹50. Past 360 days the fee is 30× the normal fee plus ₹20 per day. Multiplier part = ₹50 × 30 = ₹1,500. Per-day part = ₹20 × 40 days = ₹800. Total = ₹2,300.
Why filing on time matters
- The penalty compounds with every extra day of delay and has no upper limit
- The LLP is flagged as non-compliant on MCA records
- Strike-off, conversion, partner changes and funding are all held up until the backlog is cleared
- Designated partners can be disqualified for a prolonged default
Frequently asked questions
What is the late fee for LLP Form 11?
It is a multiplier of the normal filing fee, not a flat amount. 1× up to 15 days late, then 2× to 15× for a small LLP (4× to 30× for other LLPs) up to 360 days, and beyond 360 days the top multiplier plus ₹10 per day (small LLP) or ₹20 per day (other LLP). There is no maximum.
Is there a maximum or cap on the Form 11 late fee?
No. The old ₹100 per day with no cap was replaced in 2022 by the multiplier system, which also has no upper cap — the longer the delay, the higher both the multiplier and, past 360 days, the daily add-on.
What is the Form 11 late fee for a small LLP versus other LLPs?
A small LLP pays the lower rate at each band (2×, 4×, 6×, 10×, 15×, then 15× + ₹10 per day past 360 days). Every other LLP pays roughly double at each band (4×, 8×, 12×, 20×, 30×, then 30× + ₹20 per day).
What happens if Form 11 is never filed?
The late fee keeps accruing with no cap, the LLP stays non-compliant on MCA records, and it cannot be struck off cleanly until every pending Form 11 and Form 8 is filed with fees. A long default can also lead to designated partners being disqualified.
Do dormant LLPs with no transactions still have to file Form 11?
Yes. Form 11 is mandatory for every registered LLP regardless of turnover or activity, including dormant and non-operational LLPs.
