Partnership Firm Registration in India

A partnership firm is a straightforward way for two or more people to run a business together, governed by a partnership deed. It is quick and inexpensive to set up.

The trade-off is that partners have unlimited personal liability for the firm's debts. Registration is optional under the Partnership Act, but a registered firm has stronger legal standing — for example, the ability to sue to enforce contracts.

Key features and requirements

  • Governed by a partnership deed between two or more partners
  • Simple, low-cost formation
  • Partners have unlimited personal liability
  • Registration is optional but strongly advisable for legal protection
  • Requires PAN and, usually, GST and a bank account in the firm’s name
