First-year finance calendar for an LLP
What a limited liability partnership must file and pay in its first year. Lighter than a company, with two annual filings whose dates never move and a TDS habit new LLPs tend to miss.
Pick the one that matches the entity
An LLP has no board meetings, no AGM and no AOC-4. What catches new LLPs is the pair of annual filings whose dates are fixed (Form 11 by 30 May, Form 8 by 30 October), TDS on the professional fees an LLP typically pays, and an audit threshold lower than most partners expect.
Dates that start when something happens
Incorporation, the first hire, the first invoice, an allotment. These are the ones nobody’s diary reminds them of.
LLP Act
LLP agreement filed in Form 3; designated partners’ DPINs active; PAN and TAN allotted with registration; current account opened
GST
GST registration on the same thresholds as a company (₹40 lakh goods / ₹20 lakh services; immediate for inter-state goods, e-commerce and reverse charge)
Income tax
TDS on professional fees, contractors, rent and salaries paid by the LLP, deposited by the 7th of the next month. This is the most common first-year miss for professional-services LLPs
EPFO / ESIC / State
PF and ESI registration; Shops & Establishments and professional-tax registration on the first hire in most states
LLP Act
Form 4 within 30 days of a change in partners; supplementary agreement in Form 3 within 30 days of a change in terms
The monthly rhythm
The same six dates every month. Penalties on these compound, so they are the first thing Finac automates for a new client.

Frequently asked
Which dates change if the business is on the QRMP scheme?
GSTR-1 becomes quarterly, by the 13th of the month after the quarter, with an optional invoice furnishing facility by the 13th in months one and two. GSTR-3B becomes quarterly, by the 22nd or 24th after the quarter depending on the state, with tax paid monthly through PMT-06 by the 25th.
What happens if INC-20A is filed late?
Additional fees apply, the company cannot commence business or borrow until it is filed, and the Registrar may start strike-off proceedings after 180 days.
Have the form numbers changed under the Income-tax Act 2025?
Yes. The Income-tax Rules 2026, in force from 1 April 2026, renumbered most forms. Form 130 replaces Form 16, Form 138 replaces 24Q, Form 140 replaces 26Q, Form 26 replaces the tax audit forms 3CB and 3CD, and Form 48 replaces 3CEB. This calendar uses the new numbers and gives the old ones alongside.
