    Basic Features to Read before starting Partnership Firm:

    Benefits of Partnership firm Registration
    • Easy to form:-

    Like sole proprietorships, partnership businesses can be formed easily without any compulsory legal formalities. It is not necessary to get the firm registered. A simple agreement or partnership deed, either oral or in writing, is sufficient to create a partnership. Note: Registration of the partnership is voluntary in most states. However, it would be best to check up the rules of your state to be sure.

    • Availability of large resources:

    Since two or more partners join hands to start a partnership business, it may be possible to pool together more resources as compared to a sole proprietorship. The partners can contribute more capital, more effort and more time for the business.

    • Better decisions:

    The partners are the owners of the business. Each of them has equal right to participate in the management of the business. In case of any conflict, they can sit together to solve the problem. Since all partners participate in the decision-making process, there is less scope for reckless and hasty decisions.

    • Flexibility in operations:

    A partnership firm is a flexible organization. At any time, the partners can decide to change the size or nature of the business or area of its operation. There is no need to follow any legal procedure. Only the consent of all the partners is required.

    • Sharing risks:

    In a partnership firm all the partners “share” the business risks. For example, if there are three partners and the firm makes a loss of Rs.12,000 in a particular period, then all partners may share it and the individual burden will be Rs.4000 only. Because of this, the partners may be encouraged to take up more risk and hence expand their business more.

    • Protection of interest of each partner:

    In a partnership firm, every partner has an equal say in decision making and the management of the business. If any decision goes against the interest of any partner, he can prevent the decision from being taken. In extreme cases, an unsatisfied partner may withdraw from the business and can dissolve it. In such extreme cases the “partnership deed” is required. In the absence of the partnership deed, no legal protection is given to the partners.

    • Benefits of specialization:

    Since all the partners are owners of the business, they can actively participate in every aspect of business as per their specialization, knowledge and experience. If you want to start a firm to provide legal consultancy to people, then one partner may deal with civil cases, one in criminal cases, and another in labour cases and so on as per the individual specialization. Similarly, two or more doctors of different specialization may start a clinic in partnership.

    • Date of commencement of business.

    Step 3- How to Register the Partnership deed in India.

    Partnerships in India are governed by the Indian Partnership Act, 1932. As per the Partnership Act, registration of partnership firms is optional and is entirely at the discretion of the partners. The partners may or may not register their partnership agreement. However, in case the partnership deed is not registered, they may not be able to enjoy the benefits which a registered partnership firm enjoys.

    Registration of partnership firm may be done before starting the business or anytime during the continuance of partnership. However, where the firm intends to file a case in the court to enforce rights arising from the contract, the registration should be done before filing the case.

    The procedure for registration of partnership firms in India is fairly simple. An application and the prescribed fees are required to be submitted to the Registrar of Firms of the state in which the firm is situated. The following documents are also required to be submitted along with the application:-

    1. Application for registration of partnership in Form No-1.
    2. Duly filled specimen of affidavit.
    3. Certified true copy of the partnership deed.
    4. Ownership proof of the principal place of business or rental/lease agreement thereof.

    The application or statement must be signed by all the partners, or by their agents specially authorized in this behalf. When the registrar is satisfied with the points stated in the partnership deed, he shall record an entry of the statement in a register called the Register of Firms and issue a Certificate of Registration.

    The register of firms maintained at the office of the registrar contains complete and up-to-date information about each registered firm. This register of firms is open to inspection by any person on payment of the prescribed fees.

    Any person interested in viewing the details of any firm can request the Registrar of Firms for the same and on payment of the prescribed fees, a copy of all details of with firm registered with the registrar would be given to the applicant.

    It should, however, be noted that registration with the registrar of firms is different from registration with the income tax department. It is mandatory for all firms to apply for Registration with the income tax department and have a PAN Card.

    After obtaining a PAN Card, the partnership firm would be required to open a current account in the name of the partnership firm and operate all its operations through this bank account.
