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