Every LLP registered under the LLP Act, 2008 needs to file the annually return with LLP ROC.

Every LLP should file the returns on timely basis to avoid the heavy penalty. Every LLP, which has incorporated up to September 30 of the financial year, needs to close its First Financial Year on coming March 31 and if a LLP has been incorporated on or after October 01 in a financial year then that LLP has choice to close the first financial year on coming March 31 or next year March 31.

For an example:
Case 01
ABC Trading LLP registered on September 30, 2017 then ABC Trading LLP needs to close its first financial year on March 31, 2018 and needs to file all returns within the due dates.

Case 02
ABC Trading LLP registered on October 01, 2017 then ABC Trading LLP may close its first financial year either on March 31, 2018 or March 31, 2019 and accordingly needs to file all returns.

# Income Tax returns needs to be filled by March 31 only (closing for first financial year in only for ROC LLP purpose under LLP Act not for Income Tax).
