What are the mandatory compliances of LLP?

You will come across some particular LLP compliances which have been set by the MCA (Ministry of Corporate Affairs) that controls LLP after incorporation. These have been mentioned below:

1. File LLP agreement and preparation with MCA

It is important to file Limited Liability Partnership India with MCA within a period of one month following incorporation.

2. TAN and PAN application

The LLP’s PAN/TAN will be sent by the PAN/TAN department to the registered address of the LLP office. Online TAN registration and PAN registration are extremely relevant for the LLP.

3. Opening of bank account

It is imperative to open a bank account along with the subsequent documents since it happens to be a corporate entity:

•           LLP agreement

•           LLP Registration certificate issued by ROC

•           PAN of the LLP

•           List of partners

•           Address proof and PAN of partners.

•           Resolution for the opening of a bank account

4. Auditor appointment

An auditor is not required when it comes to LLP. However, it becomes imperative to appoint an auditor in case the LLP turnover becomes more than 40 lakh INR or the capital contribution becomes more than 25 lakh INR.

5. Other forms which are event-based: 30 days will be the date for filing the forms from the event date.

6. Non-compliance can lead to a penalty: Make it a point that the LLP Annual Return form is filed within the due date. Otherwise, one has to pay a penalty of 100 INR every day for non-compliance.

Benefits of providing tax on time for LLP

1. Save interest

One might be required to pay interest on the tax payable in case he does not file an income tax return on time. There will be no relief on penalty in case the filing of income tax return is done late.

2. Avoid notice from the IT department

In case you do not file your income tax returns on time, you might be sent a notice by the IT department. This can spoil your mental peace in the long run.

3. It becomes easy to get loans

In case you provide a tax on time for LLP, it will be easy to get loans from the lenders. While applying for a loan, you need to provide a copy of your income tax return statement to the bank as evidence of income statement.
