Partnership Firm Registration & Compliance in India
📌 What is a Partnership Firm?
A Partnership Firm is a business structure where two or more individuals come together to run a business with shared profits, losses, and responsibilities. It is governed by the Indian Partnership Act, 1932, which defines the rights, duties, and obligations of partners.
Unlike a private limited or LLP, a partnership firm does not have a separate legal entity. Partners are personally liable for the debts and obligations of the firm. This structure is ideal for small businesses, family-owned businesses, or professionals seeking simple management with flexible operations.
📌 Key Features of a Partnership Firm
- Minimum 2 partners and maximum 50 partners (excluding certain professions like banking).
- Partners share profits and losses as per the partnership agreement.
- Unlimited liability: partners are personally responsible for firm debts.
- Mutual agency: each partner can act on behalf of the firm.
- Governed under the Indian Partnership Act, 1932, with provisions for registration, dissolution, and dispute resolution.
- Simple compliance, bookkeeping, and taxation.
📌 Eligibility Criteria
- Minimum 2 partners with valid PAN and identity proofs.
- Registered office in India.
- Partnership Agreement outlining roles, profit-sharing, and duties (highly recommended, though registration is optional).
📌 Documents Required
- Identity proof of partners (PAN, Aadhaar, Passport).
- Address proof of partners (utility bills, voter ID, Aadhaar).
- Proof of registered office (rental agreement, ownership deed, NOC).
- Partnership deed (signed by all partners).
- DSC (if required for certain registrations like GST).
📌 Advantages of a Partnership Firm
