Registration Process of Partnership Firm

About Our Service

What is the Registration Process of Partnership Firm?  

A partnership firm is one of the simplest and most popular forms of business structure in India where two or more individuals join together to earn profit. The registration process of partnership firm is governed by the Indian Partnership Act, 1932, and though it is optional, registration provides legal recognition and protection to partners.

The process involves drafting a Partnership Deed, which defines each partner’s rights, duties, profit-sharing ratio, and responsibilities. Once the deed is prepared, the firm is registered with the Registrar of Firms in the respective state by submitting the necessary forms and documents. Ebizfiling helps you complete the process online, ensuring accuracy, quick turnaround, and complete compliance with state laws.

    I had a very complicated LLP striking off requirement. It took a long time due to Government (MCA) delays. Through out the period EbizFiling continued to support me and successfully completed the assignment. Truly stellar service, and I particularly want to thank Aman for his support. Will continue to do business with them.
