Limited Liability Partnerships (LLP) combine the flexibility of a partnership with the limited liability of a company. However, LLPs are required to meet certain legal and regulatory obligations to maintain their legal standing. Proper compliance is essential to avoid penalties, enhance credibility, and ensure business continuity. WeIncept provides comprehensive LLP compliance services to help you stay on top of your obligations and meet all statutory requirements.
What is LLP Compliance?
LLP compliance refers to the set of legal and financial obligations that an LLP must fulfill. These obligations include filing annual returns, maintaining financial records, complying with the LLP Act, 2008, and ensuring that all necessary statutory documents are filed with the Registrar of Companies (RoC) on time. LLPs must also meet certain tax and regulatory compliance requirements to avoid penalties.
