What is a Partnership Firm?
A Partnership Firm is a business structure formed by two or more individuals who share profits and responsibilities under a Partnership Deed. It is governed by the Indian Partnership Act, 1932 and offers operational flexibility, mutual trust, and minimal compliance requirements.
Partnerships can be either:
-
Registered — Legally recognized with the Registrar of Firms.
-
Unregistered — Legally valid but limited in legal rights (cannot sue third parties).
💡 TaxClue always recommends registering your partnership firm to gain full legal protection and credibility.
