Every claim on this page can be traced back to a section or rule below.
Section 4 defines partnership as the relation between persons who have agreed to share the profits of a business carried on by all or any of them acting for all; the persons are individually 'partners' and collectively a 'firm'. Unlike an LLP or a company, a partnership firm is not a separate legal person - the firm name is only a compendious label for the partners, so the firm cannot in its own right hold property or sue independently of them. The three essentials are an agreement (embodied in the deed), a business carried on with a view to profit, and mutual agency by which each partner is both principal and agent of the others.
View sourceSection 58 provides that registration is effected by sending to the Registrar of Firms of the area a statement in the prescribed form (in Tamil Nadu the application known as Form A / Form 1), signed and verified by all partners, stating the firm name, the principal and any other places of business, the date on which each partner joined, the full names and permanent addresses of the partners, and the duration of the firm, accompanied by the prescribed fee and stamp. Section 59 requires the Registrar, when satisfied that Section 58 has been complied with, to record an entry in the Register of Firms and file the statement, whereupon the firm stands registered. Registration is optional but its consequences are significant.
View sourceSection 69 is the single strongest practical reason to register. Sub-section (1) bars a partner of an unregistered firm from suing the firm or a co-partner to enforce a right arising from the contract or conferred by the Act; sub-section (2) bars an unregistered firm from suing a third party to enforce a right arising from a contract. A few remedies survive - notably suits for dissolution, for accounts of a dissolved firm, to realise the property of a dissolved firm, and set-off up to a small threshold. The disability is curable by registering before the suit is filed, but registration cannot retrospectively validate a suit already instituted while unregistered.
View sourceInserted by the Finance (No. 2) Act 2024 and effective from 1 April 2025, Section 194T requires a firm to deduct tax at source at 10% on any salary, remuneration, commission, bonus or interest paid or credited to a partner where the aggregate to that partner in the financial year exceeds Rs.20,000. This is a genuinely new compliance for partnership firms and LLPs: it obliges the firm to hold a TAN, file quarterly TDS statements in Form 26Q and issue Form 16A. Firms that historically paid partners without any withholding must build TDS into their partner-payout cycle from FY 2025-26 onward or face interest and fee for short or non-deduction.
View sourceSection 40(b) caps what a firm may deduct for payments to its own partners. Interest to a partner is deductible only if authorised by the deed and only up to 12% per annum simple interest, the excess being disallowed. Remuneration (salary, bonus or commission) is deductible only when paid to a working partner, only if authorised by and quantified in the deed, and only within the monetary limits in Section 40(b)(v) computed on book profit - limits that were revised upward by the Finance (No. 2) Act 2024 with effect from AY 2025-26 (the higher of Rs.3,00,000 or 90% of the first Rs.6,00,000 of book profit, and 60% of the balance). Any payment beyond these ceilings is added back to the firm's income.
View sourceSection 25 makes every partner liable jointly with all the other partners, and also severally, for all acts of the firm done while he is a partner. Because the firm has no separate legal personality, this personal and unlimited liability - reaching a partner's private assets - is the defining risk that distinguishes a partnership from an LLP or a company. Read with Section 18 (partner as agent of the firm) and Sections 26 and 27 (liability for wrongful acts and misapplication), it means the act of one partner in the ordinary course of business binds every partner. A carefully drafted deed can allocate internal authority and indemnities but cannot limit a partner's liability towards outsiders.

“FilingPro drafted a watertight Partnership Deed for our two-partner trading firm in Medavakkam. Section 4 ingredients, profit-sharing, capital, drawings and a clear dissolution clause were all there. Form A was filed with the TN Registrar of Firms and we received the registration certificate in 12 working days. PAN and current account were ready alongside.”
“We were running an unregistered partnership for two years and wanted to recover ₹4.8 lakh from a defaulting client. FilingPro flagged the Section 69(2) suit bar immediately, registered the firm under Section 58 and only then filed the recovery suit. Saved us from an inevitable dismissal. Sound legal advice.”
