What are the features of Partnership Firm Registration in Delhi?
Formation/Partnership Deed Agreement
A partnership firm is not a separate legal entity. However, as per the act, a firm must be formed via a legal agreement between all the partners. So, a contract must be entered into to form a partnership firm. Its business activity must be lawful, and the motive should be one of profit. So two people forming a partnership to carry out charity and/or social work will not constitute this form of organisation.
Unlimited Liability
All the partners forming partnership firms have unlimited liability in the business. The partners are all individually and jointly liable for the firm and the payment of all debts. This means that even the personal assets of a partner can be liquidated to meet the debts of the firm. If the money is recovered from a single partner.
Continuity of Partnership firm
A partnership cannot be carried out in perpetuity. The death retirement bankruptcy insolvency or insanity of a partner will dissolve the firm. The remaining partners may continue the partnership if they so choose, but a new contract must be drawn up.
Number of Partners
There should be a minimum of two people to form a partnership. However, the maximum number will vary according to a few conditions. The Partnership Act itself is silent on this issue, but the Companies Act, 2013 provides clarity. For a banking business, the number of partners must not exceed ten. For a business of any other nature, the maximum number is twenty. If the number of partners increases it will become an illegal entity or association.
Mutual Agreement
In this type of organisation, the business must be carried out by all the partners together. Alternatively, it can be carried out by any of the partners (one or several) acting for all of them or on behalf of all of them. So this means every partner is an agent as well as the principal of the partnership.
