Question 1

What is LLP Form 11 and who is legally required to file it?

Accepted Answer

Form 11 is the statutory Annual Return mandated under Section 35 of the Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008, filed by every registered LLP with the Registrar of Companies (ROC). It contains a summary of partners, total capital contributions, details of penalties, and body corporate partners. Every active or inactive LLP must file Form 11 every year.

Question 2

What is the statutory deadline to file LLP Form 11 every year?

Accepted Answer

Under Rule 25(1) of LLP Rules, Form 11 must be filed within 60 days from the closure of the financial year, which falls on or before 30th May every year (e.g. 30th May 2024 for FY 2023-24). Filing after 30th May attracts heavy compounding daily penalties.

Question 3

What is the late fee penalty if an LLP misses the 30th May Form 11 deadline?

Accepted Answer

Under the LLP Act, failing to file Form 11 by 30th May incurs a statutory penalty of ₹100 per day with NO maximum upper ceiling. If delayed by 1 year, the government late penalty alone exceeds ₹36,500. TaxQue files your Form 11 in early May to protect you from late fees.

Question 4

Do we need to file Form 11 if our LLP had zero turnover or zero business activity?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Filing Form 11 is 100% compulsory for every registered LLP from the year of incorporation, even if there was zero revenue, zero bank transactions, or zero commercial activity. Non-filing blocks other MCA filings and leads to designated partner disqualification.

Question 5

Who will prepare and certify our LLP Form 11 at TaxQue?

Accepted Answer

Your Form 11 is prepared by a dedicated Company Secretary and corporate legal associate. If your LLP's turnover exceeds ₹5 Crores or capital contribution exceeds ₹50 Lakhs, our practicing Company Secretary provides the mandatory Certificate of Practice (COP) digital certification.

Question 6

When is Company Secretary (CS) certification mandatory for LLP Form 11?

Accepted Answer

Under the Proviso to Rule 25(1), if the total contribution of partners exceeds ₹50 Lakhs OR if the annual turnover exceeds ₹5 Crores, Form 11 must be certified by a practicing Company Secretary in whole-time practice. TaxQue includes CS certification within our package.

Question 7

What documents are required to file LLP Form 11?

Accepted Answer

You need: (1) Updated list of Designated Partners and Partners with their current residential addresses, (2) Total capital contribution statement, (3) Details of other business entities where partners hold directorships/partnerships, and (4) Class 3 DSC of a Designated Partner.

Question 8

What is the difference between LLP Form 11 and LLP Form 8?

Accepted Answer

Form 11 is the Annual Return of Partners and Capital, due by 30th May. Form 8 is the Statement of Account & Solvency (declaring financial position, assets, and liabilities), due by 30th October. Every LLP must file BOTH Form 11 and Form 8 annually. TaxQue manages both filings.

Question 9

Can an LLP be struck off or closed if Form 11 filings are pending?

Accepted Answer

No. The ROC will not approve Form 24 for voluntary closure of an LLP until all pending annual returns (Form 11 and Form 8) up to the financial year of cessation are fully filed and late penalties cleared. TaxQue regularizes your past backlogs.

Question 10

Is Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) mandatory to sign Form 11?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Form 11 must be digitally signed using the Class 3 Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) of a Designated Partner registered on the MCA V3 portal.

Question 11

How long does TaxQue take to prepare and submit LLP Form 11?

Accepted Answer

Once partner contribution ledgers are verified, our team drafts the secretarial schedules, attaches the CS certification (if applicable), and submits Form 11 on the MCA portal within 24 to 48 hours.

Question 12

What happens if a partner was added or resigned during the financial year?

Accepted Answer

Form 11 must reflect all partner changes that occurred during the FY. If Form 4/Form 3 for partner change was missed, TaxQue files the necessary partner amendment forms first before submitting Form 11.

Question 13

What is the fee for LLP Form 11 filing with TaxQue?

Accepted Answer

We offer transparent, fixed pricing covering partner data reconciliation, Form 11 drafting, CS certification, and MCA submission with zero hidden fees.

Question 14

How do we receive proof that Form 11 was successfully registered?

Accepted Answer

Upon submission, the MCA generates an official electronic Payment Challan with an SRN and an Approval Intimation, updating your LLP master data to 'Complied' for the year.

Question 15

Can TaxQue handle all annual filings for our LLP in one bundle?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We offer an All-in-One Annual LLP Compliance Retainer covering Form 11 (May), Form 8 (October), Partner DIR-3 KYC (September), and Income Tax Return ITR-5 (July/October).

Question 16

What if there is a mistake in an already filed Form 11?

Accepted Answer

Under MCA V3 portal rules, you can file a revised Form 11 along with an explanatory letter to the ROC. TaxQue assists with prompt rectification.
