LLP Annual Compliance Calendar — What's Due and When
Every LLP, active or not, has a small set of recurring filings due each year. Missing any of them adds up in late fees, so it helps to know the calendar in advance.
01
Step
By 30 May — Form 11 (Annual Return)
A summary of the LLP's partners and structure as of 31 March. Due every year regardless of turnover or whether the LLP did any business. Late filing attracts a multiplier of the normal filing fee that escalates with delay — 1× up to 15 days, rising to 10×/20× (small LLP/other LLP) past three months, and 15×/30× past six months, plus a flat daily amount on top past a year.
02
Step
By 30 October — Form 8 (Statement of Account & Solvency)
The LLP's financial position and solvency declaration for the year ended 31 March. Also mandatory every year, with the same escalating multiplier late fee as Form 11. Filing Form 11 does not excuse this filing, and vice versa — both are required.
03
Step
DIR-3 KYC — once every 3 financial years
Every designated partner with a DIN must complete DIR-3 KYC. As of a rule change effective 31 March 2026, this shifted from an annual requirement to once every 3 consecutive financial years from DIN allotment, filed by 30 June of the year after the 3-year cycle ends. Note: if a designated partner's mobile number, email, or address changes mid-cycle, that update still has to be filed within 30 days regardless of where they are in the 3-year cycle.
04
Step
Keeping track
Because Form 11 and Form 8 fall roughly five months apart and DIR-3 KYC only comes around periodically, it's easy to lose track of which year a designated partner is due. Keeping a simple internal note of DIN allotment dates avoids missing the KYC cycle.
