FAQ
Partnership Registration — common questions
Is registration of a partnership firm compulsory?
Not strictly, but an unregistered firm cannot file a case against a partner or a third party to enforce its rights. Registration is strongly recommended.
Are partners personally liable?
Yes. In a partnership firm, partners have unlimited liability for the firm’s debts. If you want limited liability, consider an LLP.
Can a partnership firm get GST and Udyam?
Yes. A partnership firm can register for GST and get an Udyam (MSME) certificate.
