Legal Framework for Limited Liability Partnerships in India

- → LLPs are required to file certain annual compliance documents.
The LLP structure is commonly chosen by professionals, startups, SMEs, and service-based businesses seeking operational flexibility and limited liability protection.

| Form 8 – Statement of Account and Solvency | Typically due by October 30 each year | Filing containing financial statements and solvency declaration of the LLP |
| ITR-5 – Income Tax Return for LLP | Generally due by July 31 if the LLP is not subject to audit | Annual income tax return filed by the LLP under applicable tax laws |
