General Overview 

Like Companies LLP also need to do Annual Filling i.e. filling of certain documents to the Registrar annually, which is divided into two parts. First is filing of “Statement of Accounts” and second is the filing of “Annual Return”.The forms are filed for reporting the activities and financial data for each financial year in the upcoming year. The failure to fulfill LLP Annual Compliance requirements levies an additional fee of Rs.100 each day of a delay till the actual date of filing. Hence, apart from the mandate, the heavy penalty compels the Designated Partners to fulfill the requirements.
