LLP Form 8: Due Date 2026, Audit Threshold & Late Fees

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

LLP Form 8 is the statement of account and solvency under section 34 — Part A declares the LLP’s solvency, Part B carries the accounts (income and expenditure, assets and liabilities). Every LLP files it by 30 October; for FY 2025-26 that is 30 October 2026.

Two things trip filers up: the audit threshold (an audit becomes mandatory once turnover crosses ₹40 lakh or contribution crosses ₹25 lakh) and the mandatory MSMED Act disclosure attachment, which applies even when nil. CapEasy’s LLP annual filing service prepares and files Form 8 and Form 11 together.

What goes into Form 8

  • Part A — Statement of Solvency, declared by the designated partners.
  • Part B — Statement of Accounts: income and expenditure, assets and liabilities.
  • Turnover declaration (above or below ₹40 lakh) and details of charges.
  • Mandatory attachment: the MSMED Act disclosure, even if nil. A statement of contingent liabilities is attached where any exist.

When an audit is mandatory

Audit under the LLP Rules applies once turnover exceeds ₹40 lakh or contribution exceeds ₹25 lakh. Below both thresholds, the accounts can be filed unaudited with the designated partners’ declaration; above either, the auditor authenticates the form.
