LLP Form 3 Due Date — Filing Calendar 2026-27
Due Date
30th May each year
What is LLP Form 3?
LLP Form 3 is used to provide information about the LLP Agreement and any changes made to it. It is filed when the LLP Agreement is initially executed or when changes (like profit-sharing ratios, addition of partners, or change in management) are made. An annual review in May ensures all agreement changes are captured.
Who files it?
All LLPs must file Form 3 when the LLP Agreement is first entered into or when any changes are made to the agreement. It is an event-based filing but an annual review reminder is set for May to ensure no changes were missed.
Late Fee & Penalty
Additional fee: ₹100 per day from 30 days after the change, with no cap. Not filing can also lead to complications when Form 11 or Form 8 discloses changes in the partnership.
Frequently Asked Questions — LLP Form 3
When must LLP Form 3 be filed?
Form 3 must be filed within 30 days of executing or amending the LLP Agreement. The annual reminder in May ensures that any changes made during the year have been properly reported.
Is LLP Form 3 required even if the LLP Agreement has not changed?
No. Form 3 is event-based — it is only required when the LLP Agreement is first executed or when changes are made. If the agreement is unchanged, no Form 3 is required.
What changes in the LLP Agreement require Form 3?
Any change to the LLP Agreement — including change in profit-sharing ratio, addition or retirement of partners, change in management rights, change in business objects, or changes to capital contribution terms — requires Form 3.
Can Form 3 be filed along with Form 11?
They are separate filings and one does not automatically update the other. However, it is good practice to ensure Form 3 is current before filing Form 11, as Form 11 references the current LLP Agreement.
