## Why Partnership Firm?

The go-to structure for family businesses, trader groups, and professionals who want to operate jointly with minimal formalities.

01

### Simple to Form

No MCA filing, no ROC — just a deed and state registration. Cheapest and fastest way for two or more people to start together.

02

### Flexible Profit Sharing

Partners can agree on any profit and loss ratio, salary to working partners, and capital contribution — all customised in the deed.

03

### Low Compliance Burden

No annual ROC filings, no board meetings, no statutory audit below turnover thresholds. Ideal for businesses keeping things lean.

04

### Legal Enforceability

A registered firm can file suits to enforce its rights in court. Unregistered firms lose this critical protection.

## Legal Framework

Partnership firms in India are governed by the Indian Partnership Act 1932 — one of the oldest business statutes still in force.

**Indian Partnership Act 1932, Section 4:** "Partnership" is the relation between persons who have agreed to share the profits of a business carried on by all or any of them acting for all.

**Registration (Section 58–59):** Registration with the Registrar of Firms is optional but strongly recommended. An unregistered firm cannot file a suit in a civil court to enforce rights arising from a contract. Partners also cannot sue each other for breach of the partnership agreement.

**Liability:** All partners have unlimited personal liability for the firm's debts. The partnership deed must specify profit-sharing ratio, partner rights, capital contributions, and dissolution terms to avoid future disputes.

## Registration Process

We draft the deed, execute it on stamp paper, and file with the Registrar — you just sign.

1

### Draft Partnership Deed

We draft a comprehensive deed covering profit-sharing ratio, partner roles, capital contribution, remuneration, and dissolution clauses.

2

### Execute on Stamp Paper

Deed printed on non-judicial stamp paper of the required value (varies by state). All partners sign in the presence of a notary or witness.

3

### File with Registrar of Firms

Application (Form 1) submitted to the state Registrar of Firms along with the deed, partner details, and office address proof.

4

### Registration Certificate

Registrar issues the Certificate of Registration. The firm is now a registered partnership with legal standing.

5

### PAN and Current Account

Firm PAN obtained from Income Tax department. Current bank account opened in the firm's name using the deed and registration certificate.
