LLP or the Limited Partnership is a hybrid combination of a limited and partnership company.
Minimum two partners are required to incorporate an LLP there is no such upper limit.
Besides the MCA annual return filing, the limited liability partnerships must also mandatorily file the income tax return every year.
The financial year for the LLPs starts from the 1st of April to the 31st of March.
Legal compliance is a primary requirement for any business. The status of LLP annual filing is displayed at the Master Data of the LLP on MCA portal and the same can be accessed by any person. For loan approvals or any other similar requirements, compliance is a major criterion to measure the credibility of the organization.
The forms filed by the LLP are accessible by companies. Hence, while entering into contracts or major projects, the concerning party may also inspect the financial worth. LLP annual filing provides the record of its financial worth and capacity to an interested person or party.
In case of consecutive default in annual filing, the LLP can be declared as defunct or receive default status. Also, the partners can be declared as defaulters and may also be disqualified from their further appointment in LLP or company. Hence, LLP needs to file the return to maintain active status. Regular filing also saves the LLP from heavy additional fee and penalties.
For conversion of the LLP into any other organization, annual filing is very essential. The regular compliance records ease the conversion task. The same applies in case of closure of LLP. Even if the LLP was non-operational, the Registrar may ask to fulfill annual compliance, with additional LLP filing fee, if applicable.
The audited books of accounts are necessary for the LLP falling under any of the below-mentioned criteria:
1) If turnover of the LLP exceeds § 40 Lakh: or
2) Total contribution of Partners exceeds § 25 Lakh.
If LLP does not fall under any of the above criteria, statements with the signature of partners are sufficient.
