Overview

Partnership Firm Registration

A Partnership Firm is a business structure in which two or more persons agree to carry on a business together and share its profits according to the terms agreed between them. The Indian Partnership Act, 1932 governs partnerships, and the firm's partnership deed generally records the important terms between the partners — capital, profit-sharing, responsibilities and more.

Governed by the Partnership Act, 1932

Registration works through the applicable state Registrar of Firms, with prescribed details of the firm and partners recorded in the registration statement.
