    LLP FLA Return.

    The Annual Return on Foreign Liabilities and Assets (FLA) is a statistical return RBI collects every year from Indian companies, LLPs and other entities with foreign direct investment or overseas direct investment. An LLP with foreign capital must file it by 15 July on RBI's FLAIR portal, even if the investment arrived only during the year. We prepare and file it from your accounts.

    How it works

    LLP FLA Return, step by step.

    Typical timeline

    Typically 3–5 working days once the year's figures are available. The return is due by 15 July each year.

    1. 1

      Check applicability

      We confirm whether the LLP had FDI or ODI outstanding at the end of March of the previous or the current year.

    2. 2

      FLAIR registration

      If the LLP is not yet registered on FLAIR, we submit the registration with the verification and authority letters.

    3. 3

      Prepare the data

      We compile the foreign liabilities and assets from the LLP's accounts, valuing partners' capital and overseas investments as the FLA instructions require.

    4. 4

      File by 15 July

      We submit the return on FLAIR by 15 July, using unaudited figures if the audit is not yet complete.

    5. 5

      Revise after audit

      Once the accounts are audited, we file a revised return if the figures have changed.

    Before we start

    What we need from you.

    Don't have everything yet? We send a short checklist after the first call and work with what you have.

    • Audited or provisional financial statements for the year
    • Details of foreign partners and their capital contribution
    • Copies of LLP(I) and LLP(II) filings made on FIRMS
    • Details and financials of any overseas investment
    • FLAIR login, or the authorised person's details for registration
    How fees work

    The fee depends on your situation. After a short call, the partner who will do the work tells you what's involved and gives you a fixed fee in writing — before any work begins.

    • Government fees and statutory charges are billed at actuals.
    • When you pay — upfront, in stages or on completion — is agreed in writing with the fee.
    FAQs

    Questions about LLP FLA Return.

    No. Each capital contribution or transfer involving a non-resident is reported on RBI's FIRMS portal in Form LLP(I) or LLP(II). The FLA return is a separate annual statistical return of the LLP's foreign liabilities and assets.
