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 sourceUnder Section 2(23) a firm is a distinct assessee. Section 184 permits a firm to be assessed as a firm only where the partnership is evidenced by an instrument (the deed) and the individual shares of the partners are specified in it; a certified copy must accompany the return, and once assessed as a firm it continues so in later years unless a change requires a fresh instrument. Section 185 provides that where the Section 184 conditions are not met the firm is still assessed as a firm, but no deduction of interest, salary, bonus, commission or remuneration paid to any partner is allowed - the entire amount is disallowed. A properly drafted, share-specifying and quantifying deed is therefore essential to tax efficiency.
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.
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 sourcePalavakkam is a mid-tier coastal residential locality with restaurants and supporting retail along the ECR. Palavakkam (PIN 600041) falls under the Velachery Division of the Chennai South, the jurisdiction that handles statutory matters for businesses at this PIN. Statutory correspondence for Palavakkam businesses routes through the Velachery Division, so we align every Partnership Firm Registration engagement to that jurisdiction from the start. Every Palavakkam engagement we open begins with the basics: PIN 600041, the Velachery Division, and the coordinates 12.9567, 80.2589 that anchor the locality.
Palavakkam reads as a coastal residential mid tier pocket with medium commercial activity, anchored around Palavakkam Beach and fed by the Palavakkam Bus Stop corridor.

The hospitality firms we serve in Palavakkam value a Partnership partner who already understands their sector's compliance rhythm.

No. Section 5 expressly states that the relation of partnership arises from contract and not from status.
