LLP Form 11 is the annual return under section 35 of the LLP Act — a snapshot of who owns and runs the LLP: partners and designated partners, their DPINs, contribution received against contribution obligated, and changes during the year. Every LLP files it by 30 May, 60 days from the year-end, business or no business.
For FY 2025-26 the due date was 30 May 2026. If yours is pending, the late fee grows on a multiplier ladder with no cap — the old flat ₹100 per day ended in 2022 — so filing sooner is always cheaper. CapEasy’s LLP annual filing service covers Form 11 and Form 8 together.
What goes into Form 11
- Partners and designated partners with DPINs, and changes during the year.
- Contribution received versus contribution obligated (this figure must reconcile with Form 8).
- A mandatory annexure of other companies and LLPs in which the partners are directors or partners.
Who signs and certifies
- Two designated partners sign with their DSCs.
- A practising Company Secretary must certify the return when turnover exceeds ₹5 crore or contribution exceeds ₹50 lakh.
Fees and late fees
The normal fee follows the contribution slab:
| Contribution | Normal filing fee |

Late-fee multipliers (since April 2022)
A "small LLP" has contribution up to ₹25 lakh and turnover up to ₹40 lakh; everyone else pays the higher column:

| 181 – 360 days | 15x | 30x |
| Beyond 360 days (Forms 8 & 11) | 15x plus ₹10/day beyond 360 days | 30x plus ₹20/day beyond 360 days |
| Beyond 360 days (any other LLP form) | 25x | 50x |

How this date is calculated (and why other sites say a day earlier)
The Companies Act sets this deadline as a number of days measured from an event — the AGM, the incorporation date, the board meeting. How those days are counted is not left to convention: section 9 of the General Clauses Act, 1897 governs it for every Central Act. Where a period runs from a day, that first day is excluded. Where it runs to a day, the last day is included.
So for a company holding its AGM on the statutory last date of 30 September 2026, the thirty days begin on 1 October, not on 30 September. Day 30 falls on 30 October 2026.
Many commercial compliance sites publish 29 October for the same fact. That comes from counting the AGM day itself as day one — inclusive counting, which section 9 rules out. It is a single day, and a single day is the difference between an on-time filing and ₹100 per day running from the first.
If your AGM is held earlier than 30 September, the deadline moves with it — thirty days from the day after your actual AGM. Our ROC due-date calculator does the arithmetic from your AGM date.
