Partnership Firm.
A partnership firm is formed by a written partnership deed and registered with the state Registrar of Firms under the Indian Partnership Act, 1932. We draft the deed, arrange stamp duty, file the registration statement and obtain the firm's PAN. Registration matters in practice: an unregistered firm cannot sue third parties to enforce its contracts.
Typically 2–4 weeks from final deed terms to registration. Stamp duty payment, partners' availability to sign and the processing time of the state Registrar of Firms drive the duration.
A partner — a chartered accountant or company secretary — from the first call to sign-off.
Based on your situation, and fixed in writing before any work starts.

Partnership Firm, step by step.
Typically 2–4 weeks from final deed terms to registration. Stamp duty payment, partners' availability to sign and the processing time of the state Registrar of Firms drive the duration.

Deed drafting
We draft the partnership deed covering capital, profit sharing, interest and remuneration to partners, duties, admission, retirement and dissolution.

Stamping and execution
The deed is executed on stamp paper or e-stamped at the rate set by your state, and signed by all partners before witnesses.

Firm PAN
We apply for the firm's PAN in Form 94, which replaced Form 49A for Indian entities from 1 April 2026, using the deed as proof of formation.

Registration and next steps
Once the Registrar enters the firm in the Register of Firms, we help open the current account and complete GST or Shops and Establishment registration as needed.
What we need from you.
Don't have everything yet? We send a short checklist after the first call and work with what you have.

- When you pay — upfront, in stages or on completion — is agreed in writing with the fee.
