Form 11 for the financial year ended 31 March falls due on 30 May, sixty days after the books close. Form 8 follows on 30 October. Miss either and the additional fee meter starts the next morning, climbing in slabs the longer the form stays unfiled. For an LLP in Mumbai there is a second question national checklists never ask: which of the region's two registrars now receives those forms. Since 16 February 2026 the answer depends entirely on your registered office district. LegalX India runs the whole calendar, jurisdiction included, for ₹6,999 a year.
What is due from a Mumbai LLP, and by when?
Two MCA forms and one income tax return, every year, whether the LLP traded or sat idle. The table below is the calendar our Mumbai desk works from, with what a delay actually attracts.
| Filing | Due date | What delay attracts |
|---|---|---|
| Form 11 annual return | 30 May | Additional fee in multiplier slabs of the normal fee |
| Form 8 statement of account and solvency | 30 October | Additional fee in multiplier slabs of the normal fee |
| Income tax return, no audit | 31 July | Interest plus a late filing fee |
| Income tax return, audit case | 31 October | Interest plus a late filing fee |
Maharashtra then adds a line of its own. The LLP holds an enrolment on mahagst.gov.in and pays ₹2,500 a year, and every designated partner carries a personal PTEC for the same amount in individual capacity, paid by the annual due date with no return to file. Of the LLPs that come to us mid default, the MCA forms are usually known about and the partner enrolments are news.
Does your LLP answer to ROC Mumbai-I or ROC Mumbai-II?
For decades every filing in the region went to a single ROC Mumbai. Since 16 February 2026 there are two, and for LLPs the split flows from notification S.O. 4849(E) dated 23 October 2025. The test takes one look at your registered office. Offices in Mumbai City or Mumbai Suburban district, together the BMC area, file with ROC Mumbai-I. Offices anywhere else in the region, including Navi Mumbai, Thane, Kalyan, Bhiwandi, Vasai Virar, Mira Bhayandar and Panvel, file with ROC Mumbai-II at Navi Mumbai. The Mumbai-II charge covers eight districts in all: Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Dhule, Jalgaon, Nandurbar, Nashik, Palghar, Raigad and Thane.
Nothing changes on screen; forms still go through MCA V3 and no office visit is involved. What changes is the registrar that reviews your filing and raises resubmission remarks. Older guides still describing one registrar for all of Maharashtra now point half the region at the wrong office.
What does missing a form actually cost?
Forget the ₹100 a day figure; it is stale. From 1 April 2022 the uncapped daily fee on LLP Form 8 and Form 11 gave way to additional fees charged as multiples of the normal filing fee, with the multiple rising as the delay stretches. Short slips are cheaper than they were, long ones still sting. The heavier cost sits outside the fee schedule. A defaulting LLP reads badly in bank credit reviews and tender checks, and a firm struck off for persistent default can only be restored through the NCLT Mumbai Bench, an expense no filing fee ever approaches.
Which Mumbai LLPs get bitten hardest?
Three patterns fill most of our recovery work:
- SaaS and IT services founders around Powai who build inside an LLP before the funding round arrives. The firm looks dormant, the founders read dormant as exempt, and the first fee demand lands months after 30 May.
- Restaurant and retail brand owners in Bandra West who parked a franchising arm or a second outlet in an LLP. The operating company gets all the CA attention while the quiet LLP misses Form 8.
- Ventures that pivoted into a private limited company and left the old LLP standing. Until it is formally closed, that shell owes Form 11 every single year.
How we run the year from our side
Five moves, in the same order every year:
- Jurisdiction and status check. We confirm whether your LLP files with Mumbai-I or Mumbai-II, pull the master data, and flag anything already overdue.
- Records in. Bank statements, ledgers or software exports, and the current LLP agreement arrive against a written checklist, all digitally.
- Accounts and drafts. Our CA team finalises the accounts and prepares Form 8, Form 11 and the return, arranging audit where the thresholds apply.
- Review and signatures. Designated partners see reconciled drafts before anything is signed; figures are tied to the bank, not to estimates.
- Filing and proof. We file on MCA V3 and the income tax portal, then hand over acknowledgements and a dated calendar for next year.
Most clients never meet us, which is rather the point. If you would rather sit across a table, our office at Haware Fantasia Business Park in Vashi sees clients by appointment, and a phone query gets a callback within 30 minutes.
What will we need from you?
The list is short and none of it needs printing:
- The LLP agreement together with any supplementary deeds signed since
- Bank statements for every LLP account across the full financial year
- Ledgers, invoices or a clean export from your accounting software
- DPINs and digital signatures of the designated partners, with expiry dates
- Last year's filed forms and challans if another firm handled them
