To bring more transparency, every LLPs registered with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs are required to follow all the necessary compliances. The LLP compliances depend on business activity. However, it is the responsibility of the partners of an LLP to make sure that all the necessary compliances are duly complied with.

LLPs are required to provide information related to the statement of accounts, and returns, on an annual basis. Penalties, however, are huge for failure to comply. Entities that don't provide the requisite information are fined heavily, with penalties that can go up to Rs. 5 lakhs.
