Frequently Asked Questions

Is it mandatory to register a partnership firm?

No — registration is optional under the Indian Partnership Act 1932. However, an unregistered firm cannot sue third parties in court, and most banks insist on a registered firm for business accounts.

Can a minor be a partner?

A minor cannot be a full partner (they cannot be held liable), but they can be admitted to the benefits of partnership — i.e., they share profits but not losses. On attaining majority, the minor must elect to become a partner or leave within 6 months.

How many partners can a partnership firm have?

Maximum 50 partners. For banking businesses the limit is 10 partners.

What is the difference between a Partnership and an LLP?

In a Partnership, partners have unlimited personal liability. In an LLP, liability is limited to the capital contributed. LLPs are registered under the MCA; Partnership Firms under the Registrar of Firms.

Can a partnership firm be converted to an LLP?

Yes. A registered partnership firm can be converted to an LLP by filing Form 17 with the MCA. Partners retain their original capital contributions and the firm's PAN is transferred.
