LLP Form 11: Due Date 2026, Late Fees & How to File

Verified 31 July 2026. Plain-language guide — what to file, by when, and what a miss costs.

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.
