As stated earlier filing the statement of accounts, Annual returns at the end of each financial year are compulsory for an LLP. They must be filed with the apex authority Ministry of Corporate Affairs(MCA). Also, filing of income tax is considered statutory compliance. Following are the same in detail:
1.Annual Return
Every LLP must file annual returns online with the MCA at the end of every financial year. Such is to be filed in two forms namely form 8 and form 11.
These two forms are important in case of filing an annual return.
Statement of Accounts and Solvency.Must be filed within 30 days at the end of every 6 months of the financial year.
It must be duly signed by the designated partners. It must be certified by a Chartered Accountant, Auditor, or Company’s Accountant.
It contains the Annual Form. All the details of the partners must be included in this form. Year finishing for LLPs is 31st March of every year. Hence, LLPs need to record the LLP Form 11 at the very latest 30th May each year. You should record Form 8 alongside the expense, within 60 days of the financial year.
2.Books of Account
It is necessary for an LLP to maintain its books of accounts. Such accounts shall be either on cash or an accrual basis. Before 31st March which is the end of the financial year for the LLP, they must keep their accounts ready and submit as and when required. If an LLP has a turnover of more than 40 lakhs, then it must get the statement of accounts properly certified by a practicing Chartered Accountant. Denial of the same would attract a penalty of either Rs.25,000 or anything up to Rs.5,00,000.And separate fine would be imposed on the designated partner between Rs.10,000 up to Rs.1 lakh.
The Answer is Yes. It is the third and the most important compliance of LLP. The cutoff time to record the tax return for an LLP that is needed to get his books audited and certified is 30th September. For LLPs where such auditing is not required, the due date for recording the expense is 31st July. Such filing can be done online.

LLPs should record their annual expense form in Form ITR 5. The structure could be submitted online through the income tax site with the assistance of the partner who is chosen for a computerized digital signature. LLP tax payments can be made in actual mode through picked banks or e-installment mode.
Just those LLPs whose yearly turnover surpasses Rs. 40 lakhs or whose sum surpasses Rs. 25 lakhs are needed to get their records audited by a certified Chartered Accountant.
Who is responsible for the compliance of LLP and appointment of the auditor?
It is the primary duty of the delegated partners to delegate an auditor, and they can choose:
Whenever for the first financial year yet inside 30 days before the finish of the Financial Year. Auditor to top off the vacancy that is casually brought about by the removal of the past auditor.
