Partnership
Registration

Register with the Registrar of Firms (RoF) to enforce the Partnership Deed in court and sue third parties — CA-led deed drafting and filings.

A Partnership Firm, governed by the Indian Partnership Act, 1932, is one of the oldest and most straightforward business structures in India. While an unregistered partnership is legally valid, registering with the RoF is strongly advisable — registered firms can sue partners and third parties, and partners can enforce rights under the Partnership Deed in court.

Highlights

What to know

👥

Partner band

Typically 2–50 partners (subject to applicable law for your activity). The Partnership Deed should set profit-sharing, capital, roles, dispute resolution, and admission/retirement.

📋

Audit & presumptive limits

No mandatory audit until turnover exceeds ₹1 crore (goods) or ₹50 lakhs (services/profession) under presumptive schemes — confirm for your case.

💰

Tax incidence

Profits taxed at individual slab rates in partners' hands; the firm itself may be taxed at 30% depending on structure and facts.

📜

Deed-led governance

The Deed is your operating constitution — we draft it to match how you actually run the firm.

🏛️

RoF registration

State-level registration for enforceability and credibility with banks and counterparties.

🚀

SMB-friendly

Suited for SMEs combining resources, skills, and capital without company-level compliance.
