If you are a salaried partner i.e. you have opted for pre-tax returns, then the capital and profit returned will be nil since your returns have been received in the form of salary (refer to Schedule S for the same).
For investors opting for post-tax, returns over the tenure of the deal are in the form of the return of capital plus distribution of profit. The total is represented in the schedule of your return. In certain months either return of capital or distribution of profit could be nil.
The profits are distributed when available based on the accounting carried out of the respective LLP’s business. The profit returned is nil in your GID if the books of accounts of the LLP are reporting a loss. This would occur in cases where depreciation along with other expenses is greater than the lease income earned. The accounting for the same is conducted in accordance with Indian GAAP and other applicable laws. In subsequent years as depreciation reduces, the LLP will report a profit.
It is important to note that this is an accounting loss. The LLP continues to generate sufficient cash to meet its expenses and to pay the required return to investors.
For investors opting for post-tax, returns over the tenure of the deal are in the form of the return of capital plus distribution of profit. The total is represented in the schedule of your return.
The profit number could be lower than the returns presented in the schedule or those received by you as a part of your returns would have been in the form of the return of capital.
If your first payment from the deal has happened post 31 March 2022, then the said deal is considered to commence for the financial year beginning 1 April 2022 and will be included in the GID for FY 2022-2023
